Barijhati is a census town in Chanditala II CD Block in Srirampore subdivision of Hooghly district, in the Indian state of West Bengal.

==History== On the northern side of Barijhati there was a Neel Kuthi. Neel (indigo) cultivation started in Hooghly district from 1780 A.D. Such cultivation gradually spread to other places like Bansberia, Balagarh, Melia, Khanayan, Gopiganj Rajpur, Sitapur and also Chanditala. At the time of the indigo revolt, one Englishman named Mr. Castle had been murdered in 1835 A.D at a place now known as Kuthir Para. The tank used for indigo processing is now popular as Kuthir Pukur at Barijhati. Some relics are still now visible under the water of this tank.
