'''Garia''' is a neighbourhood of [[South Kolkata]] in the [[South 24 Parganas]] district in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[West Bengal]]. It is bordered by the neighbourhoods of [[Jadavpur]] in the north, [[Bansdroni]]/[[Tollygunge]] in the north-west, [[Santoshpur, Kolkata|Santoshpur]]/[[Mukundapur, Kolkata|Mukundapur]] in the north-east and [[Narendrapur]]/[[Rajpur Sonarpur]] in the south. It is on the banks of [[Adi Ganga]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mapsofindia.com/kolkata/garia.html|title=Map of Garia|publisher=Maps of India|access-date=21 September 2025}}</ref>
 
The southern part of the [[Eastern Metropolitan Bypass]] runs through the heart of the neighborhood. The area contains a prominent traffic junction from which a variety of public transport is available, making it a prime travel connection spot in [[South Kolkata]].
 
==Etymology==
Garia may have received its name from ''[[kandelia candel]]'', a native [[mangrove]] tree species, which was called '''''Guriya''''' ([[Bengali language|Bengali]]: '''গুড়িয়া''') in the [[Bengali dialects|Sundarbani]] [[dialect]] of [[Bengali language|Bengali]]. It is said that in ancient times the [[Sundarbans]] forest covered the area of present-day Garia and extended north all the way to [[Sealdah]] and that locals subsequently gave this area the name of Garia. However, Garia may have also gotten its name from the [[Muslims|Muslim]] community originally from [[Gauḍa (city)|Gauda]], '''''Gauriyā''''', who lived nearby.&nbsp;It is said that this group is currently living in the northern part of [[Baishnabghata Patuli Township|Patuli]]; however, many scholars do not accept this theory.
 
Alternatively, the name Garia may have come from the large [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gaudiya Vaishnav]] community living in the neighborhood.&nbsp;In the 15th century, the famous social reformer of Bengal, [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu|Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]], traveled through [[Adi Ganga]] on his [[Nilachal|Nilachal Yatra]] and stopped near present-day Garia; Vaishnavas (''Baishnabs'') have lived in the area since, and perhaps took inspiration for the name from that of the saint.&nbsp;[[Baishnabghata Patuli Township|Baishnabghata]] and Kamdahari, nearby townships, are hypothesized to have the same source of etymological history.
 
==History==
Garia is one of the oldest settlements in the region. Adi Ganga (also known as Tolly's Nala), which connects Kolkata to the [[Bidyadhari River]] to the east, runs through the middle of the neighborhood. It was a generally peaceful residential neighborhood before the [[partition of India]], which changed the social composition of the area.
 
Through the course of the partition process, refugees came and settled in the farmlands and country houses of the rich landowners of Kolkata in Garia, increasing the population of the area by several thousands.
 
Garia became a refugee settlement, along with [[Jadavpur]] and [[Tollygunge]], in the southern fringes of the city. Slowly after the initial upheaval, development of the area resumed and it gradually became peaceful once again.
 
With the expansion of Kolkata to the east and the south during the 1990s, the area witnessed further change. Garia was the southern end of the [[Eastern Metropolitan Bypass]]. This road connected Garia to the north of the city and newly developing areas like [[Bidhan Nagar|Salt Lake]] and [[New Town, Kolkata|New Town]], and also to the [[Dum Dum Airport]] and spurred the rapid commercialization of the area. Already home to two major bus terminals, Garia became the transport and commercial hub of the region.
 
==Present day==
Kanungo Park, established by Sri Manindra Lal Das (of The Directorate of Settlement Department of West Bengal), was the first planned settlement in Garia and was inspired by [[Milian Park]] in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington D.C]]. It, along with most other new planned settlements, was located to the north of the junction of N.S.C. Bose Road and Raja Subodh Chandra Mullick Road (known today as Garia More Road).
 
The locality is now home to some of the most upmarket apartment complexes in the city and caters to people looking to get away from the congestion of Kolkata. Notable complexes include Hiland Park, Avani's Victoria Greens, Westwind, Orbit City, Sunny Seasons, Victoria Greens, Sugam Park, Sherwood Estate, and Bengal Ambuja's Upohar.
 
More apartment complexes, such as Sugam Sudhir, PS Srijan Ozone, and Modello Highs are also nearing completion. Garia's population also continues to increase. Additionally, more residential flats are being built, leading roads to be increasingly congested and bringing Garia in line with most other places in Kolkata.
 
One of Kolkata's [[red-light district]]s is situated in Garia.<ref name="Madison Leigh Rose">{{cite web |last1=Rose |first1=Madison Leigh |title=Red Light City: Sex Workers’ Experiences of the City of Joy |url=https://madisonleighrose.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/red-light-city-sex-workers-experiences-of-the-city-of-joy/ |website=Madison Leigh Rose |access-date=16 December 2018 |language=en |date=27 August 2012}}</ref>
