Hatibagan
Hatibagan ((ベンガル語:হাতিবাগান)) is a neighbourhood in north Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). The area is under Shyampukur & Burtalla police stations. It is next to Shyambazar. The place is popular for its shops, markets, cinema halls and old theatres. No other places in Kolkata cover as many cinema & theatre halls as Hatibagan. One of the most popular and famous cinema halls here is the Star Theatre, with many people in north Kolkata choosing to watch films there instead of multiplexes because of its low ticket prices. Hatibagan is one of the oldest traditional markets in Kolkata city, 97 years old in 2009. One can buy typical Bengal silk and cotton saris here. Two major roads those cross through Hatibagan are Bidhan Sarani & Aurobinda Sarani (formerly Grey Street). Hatibagan-Shyambazar broadly cover Ward Nos. 11 and 12 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation.〔Map no. 7, Detail Maps of 141 Wards of Kolkata, D.R.Publication and Sales Concern, 66 College Street, Kolkata – 700073〕
The Japanese had dropped a bomb at Hatibagan market during World War II but it did not explode. The major portion of the market was gutted in a fire on 22 March 2012.〔
==Etymology==
There are two main views on the etymology of the name Hatibagan. ''Hati'' means elephant, ''bagan'' means garden. According to one view, the elephants of the Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah were posted here when he attacked Kolkata in 1756. Another view suggests someone with the surname ''Hati'' had a villa with garden in this area, leading to the name. The villa was bought by Mehtab Chand Mullick who initiated the market.
