Serampore, Municipality at Hooghly district, West Bengal, India

Located in the Gangetic Delta region, Serampore extends across 11.60 square kilometers at an elevation of 17 meters near the Hooghly River.

The settlement functioned as a Danish trading post named Frederiknagore from 1755 until 1845, when Denmark transferred control to British authorities.

The Rathayatra of Mahesh, initiated in 1396 at the Jagannath Temple, brings together over 200,000 participants each year for religious celebrations.

The city maintains connections to Kolkata through multiple transportation networks, supporting the industrial operations and daily commuter movement.

The Denmark Tavern, established in 1786 as a riverside guest house, reopened in 2018 following restoration with Danish-influenced interior elements.
