We
visited
this
place
in
the
month
of
December
2021.The
name
of
this
place
is
derived
from
the
mythical
Hindu
king
of
the
medieval
period,
Chandraketu.
A
mound
at
the
Berachampa
village
(Deuliya),
off
the
Barasat-Basirhat
Road,
used
to
be
called
Chandraketur
Garh
(fort
of
Chandraketu),
which
was
later
compounded
as
Chandraketugarh.
It's
a
2,500
years
old
archaeological
site
located
near
the
Bidyadhari
river,
about
35
kilometres
(22
mi)
north-east
of
Kolkata,
in
the
district
of
North
24
parganas,
near
the
township
of
Berachampa
and
the
Harua
Road
railhead.Once
it
was
an
important
hub
of
international
maritime
trade.According
to
some
historians,
the
Chandraketugarh
place
and
surrounding
area
could
be
the
place
known
to
ancient
Greek
and
Roman
writers
as
having
the
same
name
as
the
river
Ganges.
It's
a
best
place
for
one
day
outing.
Please
visit
this
place
during
winter.
Anyone
who
wants
to
enjoy
with
his
or
her
family
and
friends
in
winter
season
or
if
you
want
to
go
for
picnic
then
it's
a
good
place
for
that.
You
only
see
excaveted
brick
structure
here.
