Just returned from West Bengal!

I just returned from West Bengal. Well when anyone asks me about my native place, an impression of Kolkata comes into his/her mind. Busy streets with traffic jams every 30 seconds(I am not exaggerating!,in some cases within 15 seconds too!), countless number of shops, and large number of old buildings indeed comes to everyone's mind when I tell them it's West Bengal. But west Bengal does not only consist of Kolkata. There various other large towns like Krishnanagar,Ranaghat, Naihati, Siliguri,etc without which the essence of this state is negligible.
Each of them has its own charm and uniqueness. I have been to Krishnanagar the most number of times as it's my native place.So let me give some tidbits about this place.
Krishnanagar is the district headquarters of Nadia district of West Bengal.


Location of Krishnanagar in Nadia District
I am listing some of the specialities of this city below:
1. It's clay toys

Krishnanagar is famous for its clay toys. Not only for its clay toys it's also famous for its sculptures.India's leading sculpturers hail from this town. Shopping there for its toys is always recommended for its large variety and beautiful designs.

2. Iskcon Mayapur

Iskcon Mayapur is headquarters of International Society Of Krishna Consciousness(ISKCON) which has its centres all over the world.It's about 30kms from Krishnanagar.

When I visited this place, I was bowled out by its extensive area and cleanliness (You would not find a single spec of dust in this place. Frankly speaking I feel it's the cleanest place in Earth after visiting this place.
There are many other specialties of this town which I shall describe in my subsequent posts.
