Mohor Kunj, previously known as Citizen's Park by the inhabitants of Kolkata, is a scenic urban establishment located within the Maidan area of Kolkata. It was established during British Colonial rule as Citizen's Park and renamed in 2005 as a tribute to the iconic Rabindra Sangeet artist Kanika Bandopadhyay, the beloved 'Mohor Di' of Kolkata.
This park is deeply loved by both local inhabitants as well as tourists. Once you visit this place, you won’t feel like you're in India. Expect well-paved walkways and astonishing views of the serene Hooghly River.

So, if you wish to escape the hustle of city life, you know where to go.
