CHANDANNAGAR : France of Bengal by Tourist Destination
Embracing the banks of the Ganges River, just 30 km north of Kolkata, India is the small, beautiful erstwhile French colony. Chandannagar was established as a French colony in 1673 . Formerly known as Chandannagore, Chandannagar, today, continues to house remnants of French colonization, despite its turbulent past. In fact, though the rest of India won independence in 1947, Chandannagar continued to remain a stronghold of the French till 1950.
Chandannagar Gate:
Constructed in 1937, to mark the Fall of Bastille, the gate has the slogan of the French Revolution Liberté, égalité, fraternité (Liberty, equality and fraternity) etched on it.
Chandannagar Strand:
Situated on the banks of the Ganges, this is a beautiful, well maintained tourist spot. It is beautifully decorated with lights, lush green trees, a huge number of seats for people to spend time and even well studded pavements. The tree-shaded promenade along the river is about 1 km (0.62 mi) in length and 7 meters (23 ft) in width. It is a popular spot for local people and tourists alike, who love to stroll along enjoying the breeze and watching the small boats sail by.
The Sacred Heart Church of Chandannagar (l'Eglise du Sacré Cœur):
It was designed by French Architect Jacques Duchatz. The church was inaugurated by Paul Goethals on 27 Jan. 1884. The church stands for over two centuries to mark the beauty of the architecture during the French period — a good place to visit for the historians and tourists alike.
Chandannagore Museum and Institute (Institut de Chandernagor):
Another important landmark in the town is the erstwhile Duplex Mansion, which serves as the Chandannagar Museum today. It boasts a collection of French antiques (such as cannons used in Anglo-French war, wooden furniture of the 18th century, etc.) which are difficult to find anywhere else in the world.
Chandannagar Cemetery:
The French Cemetery contains 150 tombs and is located on the Grand Trunk Road opposite Lal Dighi (a large lake). Amongst the remarkable people buried there, one can find the tomb of Duplessis, the founding father of French Chandannagar and also the one of pioneering meteorologist Henry Storm Piddington.
Patal-Bari(The Underground House):
The building is another beautiful example of the advancement in the knowledge of architecture and the aesthetic sense of the people of those earlier days. Its lowest floor is submerged in the River Ganges. The Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore frequently visited the place and appreciated a lot about the building. He mentioned Patal-bari in many of his famous novels. The famous social reformer Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar also stayed in the building. The house was owned by the Zamindars of nearby Mankundu.
Nandadulal Temple:
Nandadulal Temple was built in 1740 by Indranarayan Roychoudhury presents an excellent example of ancient Indian sculptures. It is built in the do chalha style. The temples old idol of Lord Krishna was thrown away into the pond behind the temple by a general .Later the pieces of the idols were fished out and submerged in Varanasi.
Jagatdhatri Puja, Lighting and Procession:
The pomp and show of the Jagadhatri Puja in Chandannagar is very well known all over India. It is heard that Indranarayan Chowdhury introduced the Jagadhatri Puja in Chandannagar even before 1750.The beauty of the festival in Chandannagar is mainly due to the collaborative conception between the French and Bengalis. Remarkable feature remaining its procession, second largest in the world after Rio de Janeiro's, with its magnificent lightings .The Lighting and Procession of this festival brings in a number of tourists from all over the world.

A small museum but it has abundant historical value. Good information about this French colony is available through displayed objects and artefacts, though maintenance needs improvement. Many artefacts aren’t labelled properly or labelled only in Bengali. High time that we start respecting our heritage and history so that future generations are benefitted.

Christmas in Chandernagore
Before my viewers and friends wonder whether Vasudeva is on the verge of turning Christian... I'm NOT. Joining the Vaishnava faith has never meant for me to renounce my Christian background but to fulfil it.
In the wake of moving to a part-time home in Chandernagore, near Kolkata, I met Father Orson. We took a liking to each other and I caught myself following him on some of his parochial activities.
Christmas time came and I started shooting...only for peace. the result being this informal video. It covers the midnight mass, but also a Hindu worship of the Goddess Durga, and outstanding aerial shots from my drone, right above the Ganges river.
If you find the mass a bit long, skip over it, although you'd miss my comments comparing the Roman Catholic and the Hindu Vaisnava faiths. So yes, the video belongs to your compared religions folder.

Chandannagar, formerly spelled as Chandernagore, is a city and a municipal corporation with former French colony located about 35 kilometers (22 mi) north of Kolkata, in West Bengal, India. It is headquarter of Chandannagore subdivision of Hooghly district. It is one of the 7 municipal corporations in West Bengal. It is a part of the area covered by Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA). Located on the Hooghly River, the city has been able to maintain a unique identity different from all other cities and abide by her own characteristics. The total area is 19 square kilometers (7.3 sq mi), and had a population of 166,867 at the 2011 Census. Chandannagar is connected to Kolkata by railway, roadways and Hooghly river and it takes about an hour to reach there by car and 45 minutes by rail.
Origin of name of Chandannagar
The name Chandannagar is possibly derived from the shape of the bank of the river Hooghly which is bent like a half moon (in Bengali, Chand means moon and Nagar implies city), so originally it was chander nagar. From the river bank it looked like a moon-shaped necklace (crescent moon). Some local people say that once, the place was the major hub of the trade of Sandal (Bengali-chandan). In some old documents the spelling of Chandannagar was Chandernagore which probably came from Chandra Nagar. To mention, Chandra is the Bengali of Moon. One more reason behind the name is, in Chandernagore there is a temple of Goddess 'Chandi'. So it might come from there. But earlier people knew the place by the name Farasdangaor France donmgi as it was a French colony (Bengali: Farasi means French, danga means land).The name Pharasdanga appears in Bengali literature.

Chapter 2: Chandannagar
Chandannagar is a small city and former French colony, located approximately 35 kilometres north of Kolkata, in the Hooghly district of West Bengal, India. According to historians, Chandannagar came into existence during colonial times and was the hub of European commerce between 1730 and 1756, after which it was captured by the British and Calcutta became the centre of operation. The subtle impressions of the colonial legacy that have passed the test of time are still visible. Vivid French architectural patterns designate a mystic appearance to the city. Situated on the banks of the Hooghly River, this quaint city has been able to develope a unique blend of culture and heritage in the contemporary times.
