'''Nandy Bagan''' or '''Nandi Bagan''' is a neighbourhood of [[South Kolkata]] in the [[India]]n city of [[Kolkata]] in [[West Bengal]]. It is a residential area surrounded with [[Kasba (Kolkata)|Kasba]], [[Haltu]], [[Garfa]], [[Jadavpur]], Babu Bagan, [[Dhakuria]], Naskarpara, Shahid Nagar, Bosepukur and Selimpur.
