Orchid Centre at Takdah or Tukdah in Darjeeling district
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Orchid Centre at Takdah or Tukdah in Darjeeling district.
Tracing back to the British era, the garden area was appointed as the gathering spot of the British soldiers. Historical evidence affirms that Takdah was home to the 2nd Battalion British troops, that was drawn to fight in World War I. Takdah Cantonment is a neighbourhood in the Rangli Rangliot CD block in the Darjeeling Sadar subdivision of the Darjeeling district, West Bengal. Takdah Cantonment, as the name signifies, was a British cantonment before the independence of India. It was the destination for many British officers of high rank from all over India. After independence, like many other towns and villages, Takdah was abandoned by the new order. It was only recently that people really started to settle down in the area. |
