Guruday博物馆建立在Shri Guruday Dutt的记忆中,因为他不遗余力地保存了孟加拉的民间艺术。这是一个艺术和工艺博物馆,从国家的偏远地区的产品。收藏品包括300多件神像,面具,乐器,纺织品,木制品,考古物品和绘画作品。这个博物馆因为他的儿子Birendrasaday Dutt的推荐而被打开。像圣雄甘地,Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan博士,Rabindranath Tagore博士等等当时的坚定者认为,如果没有Shri Gurdday Dutt的精力和热情,我们的古代文化就不可能得到保存。这是他给新孟加拉艺术学院的动力。
Perched along the banks of the tranquil Hooghly river is an erstwhile French Colony established in 1673, after being granted permission by the then Nawab of Bengal. One of the first trading posts in India, Chandannagar (formerly, Chandernagore) is a quintessential pocket north of Kolkata, which bears a plethora of vestiges of the country's colonial past. Even though this dainty town has brushed off most of its history, remnants of its colonial epoch still linger along the delightful pastel facades, antiquated French Maisons, and even the archetypal, three-wheeled rickshaw carts. Strewn across its dainty expanse are traces of profound Indo-French structures, an architectural style akin to the one found in Puducherry's French Colony. The town boasts a host of structures that have braved war-torn times, sustaining their historical allure - like the winsome, cream-colored Dupleix Palace which is now an expansive museum, centuries-old Sacred Heart Church and Patal Bari (Underground House), the lowest floor of which is submerged in River Ganges. Patal Bari's wooden sunshades and ornamental water outlets have played host to the likes of Rabindranath Tagore. The French Cemetery is another iconic relic bearing 150 tombs, one of which is the tomb of Duplessis, who was the founding father of French Chandernagore. Albeit dotted with motley monuments and religious temples, the Strand is primarily dominated by the Durgacharan Rakshit Ghat, an ornate, pastel-pink pavilion, complete with elegant columns and stucco work. A stroll along this riverside promenade promises quite a peaceful and enriching experience.
