01 — The story

Benubana Chhaya is a public park on the EM Bypass in Kolkata's Baishnabghata Patuli Township, developed by the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority in 2013 as part of efforts to beautify the city. It is laid out around water, with a path lined by trees running between lakes on both sides.

The park is a quiet place for families and friends to spend time. Visitors can go out on the water by boat, and a restaurant set in a tram stands within the grounds. Entry is by ticket.
