Ranaghat, Municipality center in West Bengal, India
Ranaghat sits on the banks of River Churni, 74 kilometers north of Calcutta, serving as headquarters for the Ranaghat subdivision of Nadia district.
The town was initially selected as the district capital of Nadia after India's independence, but the administration eventually chose Krishnanagar for this role instead.
The population includes numerous Hindu refugee families from Bangladesh who settled here during the 1971 Liberation War, adding to the existing Bengali communities.
The railway station functions as a central junction in the Sealdah-Lalgola section, connecting the municipality with Kolkata through regular train services.
The local flower market and handloom industry provide employment to over 1000 residents, making these sectors central to the municipality's economic structure.
