One of the oldest light house in India.
The first Lighthouse was constructed in the year 1821 on a 20m wooden tripod situated at a nearby location. Now under water. The light source was a revolving reflector array consisting of 14 lamps. In 1852 the same source was shifted on to a new tower. In 1897, the source was replaced by the revolving optic. However erosion of coastline necessitated planning a new Lighthouse away from the coast. Accordingly the present cast iron tower was erected in 1909. The same tower is still in operation. A fourth order revolving optic with 35mm P.V. burner light source is functioning since 18th May 1911. The lighthouse station is under control of Kolkatta Port Trust.
