Nabadwip, Sacred pilgrimage city in West Bengal, India.

Navadvip extends across nine islands along the Hooghly River, featuring numerous temples and Sanskrit educational institutions at an elevation of 14 meters.

The city served as the capital of the Sena dynasty until 1202 AD when Bakhtiyar Khalji captured it, marking the beginning of Muslim rule in Bengal.

The Rass festival illuminates the streets of Navadvip with lights and deities installed at different corners, drawing hundreds of visitors annually.

The Nabadwip Dham railway station connects the city to North Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Odisha, and Kolkata through regular train services.

Sanskrit schools in Navadvip developed the Navya Nyaya school of logic, leading to its recognition as the Oxford of Bengal.
