Chandraketugarh, Archaeological site in Berachampa, India
The archaeological site spans across multiple villages in the North 24 Parganas district, containing ancient structures and artifacts from different periods.
Archaeological findings indicate continuous human settlement from 400 BCE until the 12th century CE, marking periods from pre-Maurya through Pala dynasties.
Excavations revealed terracotta art, inscriptions in Kharoshthi and Brahmi scripts, and coins that demonstrate connections with Hellenistic and Roman civilizations.
Located 50 kilometers from Kolkata, the site requires a day trip as there are no accommodations, with access through Barasat by road or rail.
Two private museums near the site display over 1,500 artifacts, including wooden figures and terracotta pieces discovered during local excavations.
