This is a historical place in the age of pal yug located at Berachapa near Harua Road station.

This place has the India's easternmost archeological proofs (Terracotta) of Sunga dynasty of 2200-2100 YBP (Years Before Present) ie. 2nd-1st century BCE (Before Current Era) in Anga, the present West Bengal. Two images are famous :- Royal family; woman with child. of Chandraketugarh, Sunga Dynasty. প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিক প্রমাণ স্বরূপ চন্দ্রকেতুগড়ে, সুঙ্গা রাজবংশের পোড়ামাটির মূর্তি পাওয়া গেছে যা কম করে 2200-2100 বছর আগের অর্থাৎ খ্রীষ্টপূর্ব দ্বিতীয় থেকে প্রথম শতাব্দীর। এই প্রমাণ ভারতের একেবারে পূর্বপ্রান্তে অবস্থিত। এর সংরক্ষণ আমাদের প্রত‍্যেকের দায়িত্ব। Chandraketugarh is thought to be a part of the ancient kingdom Gangaridai that was first described by Ptolemy. The history of Chandraketugarh dates back to almost the 3rd century BCE, during the pre-Mauryan era. Artefacts suggest that the site was continuously inhabited and flourished through the Shunga-Kushana period, onwards through the Gupta period and finally into the Pala-Sena period. Archaeological studies suggest that Chandraketugarh was an important town and a port city. It had a high encircling wall complete with a rampart and moat. The residents were involved 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 seen in the artefacts. Some of the potteries carry inscriptions in Kharoshthi and Brahmi scripts. Chandraketugarh features many examples of terracotta art, displaying an unusual degree of precision and craftsmanship. These plaques are comparable to those found at other better-known sites such as Kaushambi and Ahichhatra. The terracotta plaques from these sites often carry similar motifs executed in nearly identical fashion. This similarity suggests an established communication link and common cultural heritage among these sites. Finds include Northern Black Polished Ware (NBPW) relics, later wares dated from about 400 BCE to 100 BCE and approximately contemporary with the Maurya period, as well as from the more recent Kushanas and Gupta periods. A large number of silver punch-marked coins and a few gold coins have been unearthed from Chandraketugarh, including a gold coin of Chandragupta-Kumardevi. A large number of semi-precious stone beads were also found here, along with items made of ivory and bone. Even a few wooden objects have survived.

We went there for cycling from baguihati for small trip, it's nice place all over greennery

Historical place, not maintained properly. However people visiting should have interest for historical relics

As a calm spot to heal the soul and feel the nature, it's good but no historical significance। turned into a pasture। despair everywhere!
