At first Burdwan is a city enriched with historical essence. Burdwan is an anglicised version of the Sanskrit Vardhamana. It has a multicultural heritage. Temples explored here are reminiscent of Bengali Hindu architecture. Coming to food -Sitabhog and Mihidana are two famous sweets to honour His Majesty. Rice here is the staple food and agriculture is the main source of income. The economy of modern Burdwan is growing fast. Two large development projects on public private partnership are NH2 connecting Kolkata and Delhi on which the township lies and the mini township in Goda.

Bardhaman is a small city in the state of West Bengal in India. This city is known for its old temples and monuments which were built more than 300 years ago by the then kings. Now Bardhaman city has developed so much and people from other districts come here to do their business.

Bardhaman is an old city, historically the center of the princely estate of Burdwan. Apart from the monuments and structures made by the Burdwan princes and their British overlords, our city is the governing center of Sher Afghan, the first husband of Nur Jahan, who would later be the wife of the Emperor Jahangir of India. Presently the city is a district headquarter and has a University.
