DescriptionChandraketugarh - 360 Degree View - Berachampa - North 24 Parganas 2015-04-11 7292-7303 Compressed.JPG |
English: The ancient mound of Chandraketugarh or king Chandraketu's fortified city is located in the district of North 24 Parganas, 38 Km north-east of Calcutta (Kolkata) in West Bengal, India. It falls under the localities Berachampa in the police station of Deganga. The history of Chandraketugarh dates back to almost the 3rd Century B.C., during the pre-Mauryan era. Artifacts suggest that the site was continuously inhabited and flourished through the Sunga-Kushana period, then the Gupta period and finally the Pala-Sena period. From all indications Chandraketugarh was an important urban center, and most probably a port city. It had a high encircled wall with a rampart and a moat. The people were engaged in various crafts and mercantile activities. Although the religious inclinations of the people are unclear, hints of the beginning of some future cults can be traced in the artifacts. Some of the potteries carry inscriptions in Kharoshthi and Brahmi scripts. |
