The Gariahat Market is located on Rashbehari Avenue and [[Gariahat Road]] Crossing (''Gariahat More''). It is best known for its fish offerings. The other three points of the crossing contains a collection of Indian sarees and other items such as readymade garments, electronic gadgets. Besides the regular shops, there are the makeshift shops that crowd the sidewalks.

The main shopping area runs down to its intersection with [[Sarat Bose Road]] ([[Deshapriya Park]]) but mainly up to Triangular Park. Then it travels further west to meet Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Road (previously Russa Road) at Rashbehari Crossing (''Rashbehari More'') and heads towards [[Chetla]]. From Chetla-Sahanagar Bridge ('''Shaheed Jatin Das Setu'''), Rashbehari Avenue becomes Chetla Central Road and moves towards [[Alipore]].<ref>Google maps</ref>

In the east, it meets the [[Eastern Metropolitan Bypass]] at Gold Park (Ruby Hospital). This extended part of it starts from the eastern flank of Bijon Setu (Rail Overbridge). The extended part (including [[Bijon Setu]] above suburban railways at [[Ballygunge railway station]]) till Ruby doesn't bear its original name, but is commonly called the '''Rashbehari Avenue Connector'''.

The important traffic intersections from east to west are near Ekdalia (Ballygunge Station stop), [[Gariahat Road|Gariahat]], Hindustan Park (Ballygunge area), [[Deshapriya Park]] (Sarat Bose Road), Lake Market and Rash Behari (Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Road).

The important roads that run immediately parallel to it are [[Southern Avenue (Kolkata)|Southern Avenue]] to its south and Hazra Road (now renamed) to its north.
