Canning

Named after the then-Viceroy Lord Canning, the town was originally developed as a feeder port to Kolkata in the 1860s. However, the idea faded with the choking of the Matla River and in 1867, the river reduced the town to a "bleached skeleton". The kuthi is still present as a remainder of the original Port Canning.

Provides an exquisite view of the Matla River flowing towards the Sundarbans.

Literally "Sundarbans Culture Fair and Folk Culture Festival". Like many fairs in large cities, you can expect various food stalls, jewellery shops, handicraft stalls, furniture showrooms, and vehicle showrooms here. Besides, you can enjoy group and solo performances, including Santal dance.
