Chandannagar, Municipal corporation in West Bengal, India.
Chandannagar extends along the western bank of the Hooghly River, featuring a 700-meter promenade lined with trees and historical monuments.
The French East India Company established Chandannagar as a trading post in 1696 after purchasing land from Mughal authorities and developed it into a commercial center.
The annual Jagaddhatri Puja celebration brings together thousands of people for traditional rituals, processions, and decorative displays throughout the city streets.
Regular train services connect Chandannagar to Kolkata, with the local railway station providing frequent departures and arrivals throughout the day.
The Chandannagar Museum houses a collection of French artifacts, documents, and furnishings that demonstrate the city's Indo-French architectural and cultural fusion.
