Shyambazar

==Origin of the name==
There was a big market in the area, which Holwell called Charles Bazar. The present designation was conferred upon it by Sobharam Basak, in honour of Shyam Rai (or Gobinda), the attendant of the goddess Kali. The Basaks and the Setts were amongst the first to have settled in Sutanuti, after having cleared the jungles. Sobharam Basak was one of the wealthiest native inhabitants of 18th century Kolkata.〔Cotton, H.E.A., ''Calcutta Old and New'', 1909/1980, p. 291, General Printers and Publishers Pvt. Ltd.〕
