It can be reached from Kolkata by either train (100 km (62 mi)) or bus (118 km (73 mi)).[2] Krishnanagar City is part of Kolkata Suburban Railway on the Sealdah -- Naihati -- Ranaghat -- Krishnanagar line.

Some of the Natun bazar artists have studied in art colleges in France and Italy, but theirs is a talent passed down through generations. Kartik Chandra Pal prepared clay models of statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. Based on his clay models bronze castings were made and have found pride of place in Washington DC and Moscow and were inaugurated by Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev, respectively.
