"baranagar tales"

It is this land were once Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a 15th-century saint who is considered to be the combined avatar of Radha and Krishna, had set his foot.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s maternal uncle’s house was on Kashinath Dutta Road in Baranagar.

Baranagar was once a major trading hub for the Dutch and it is these ghats that Siraj ud-Daulah’s barges, British ships and Ramprasad Sen’s boat hit.

Baranagar still houses several Dutch houses, locally known as the kuthibaris (kuthi from kothi and bari meaning house).
