Chandannagar Heritage Trails: Nritya Gopal Smiti Mandir & Chandannagar Library


On the G.T. Road, Bagbazar (
বাগবাজার)  of Chandannagar (yes like Kolkata, French colony Chandannagar also has a Bagbazar), just opposite to HP Petrol Pump there is a beautiful palace - now the once-white domes have became blackish with the time but you can't miss it. And if you observe it closely, you would find the name of the building - 'Nitya Gopal Smriti Mandir O Chandannagar Pustakagar' (নৃত্যগোপাল স্মৃতি মন্দির ও চন্দননগর পুস্তকাগার) is inscribed on the top of the building. Many locals call it as 'Old Library'.
