Chittaranjan Park
Neighborhood of Delhi in South Delhi, India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chittaranjan Park (also known as C.R. Park) is an upscale neighborhood in South East Delhi and home to a large Bengali community. It was established on a rocky terrain in the early 1960s under the name EPDP Colony (East Pakistan Displaced Persons Colony) and later renamed after the deshbandhu (patriot) Chittaranjan Das in the 1980s.[1] Nowadays it is considered among the posh localities in South Delhi due to a rise in the market price of its plots. Despite its growing cosmopolitan nature, it remains home to a large Bengali community and is home to Kolkata-style street-food stalls, Bengali cuisine, fish markets, temples, and cultural centers.[1] It hosts many festivities and cultural events. Durga Puja is the most celebrated festival here which boasts magnificent marquee.
