Many handicraft and textiles emporium of government can also be seen here. A huge number of jewellery shops are also located here. Gariahat is also famous for its fish market.It connects to some of the most important roads of the city namely Ballygunge Circular Road, Gurusaday Dutta Road, Hazra Road, Rashbehari Avenue and Prince Anwar Shah Road.

The entire stretch starts from Park Circus Crossing (where it is known as Syed Amir Ali Avenue, and heads south through Ashutosh Chowdhury Avenue (known as Old Ballygunge Road)with Birla Mandir, Birla Industrial and Technological Museum on its sides, then bears the name Gariahat Road from Ballygunge Phari and passes by Gol Park, and moves on to Dhakuria Bridge after which it is known as Gariahat Road (South), having Jodhpur Park to its right and Dhakuria/Selimpur to its left (East). The road assumes different names along the way becoming Raja SC Mullick Road after the intersection of Prince Anwar Shah Road and Jadavpur Police station, down south up to Garia. Jadavpur University happens to be one of the major landmarks as it winds it's way down from Park Circus, Ballygunge, Gariahat Crossing, Gol Park [Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Kankulia/Keyatala] , Dhakuria, Jadavpur, Bagha Jatin and finally through the inner areas of south Kolkata on to Garia.
