Nadia district, Administrative district in West Bengal, India
Nadia district extends across 3,927 square kilometers of alluvial plains shaped by the Ganges Delta, containing four administrative subdivisions and Krishnanagar as its capital.
The district served as the capital of Bengal under the Sena Empire from 1159 to 1206, until Bakhtiyar Khilji captured the region in 1202.
The standard Bengali dialect developed in the Shantipur region of Nadia during the 19th century, establishing the foundation for modern Bengali language.
Railway connections link major towns including Nabadwip Dham, Krishnanagar City Junction, and Ranaghat Junction, facilitating transportation throughout the district.
The 1859 Indigo revolt started in Chaugacha village of Krishnanagar, marking a significant moment in Indian resistance against colonial practices.
