Krishnanagar /ˌkrɪʃnəˈnʌɡə/ is a city and administrative/district headquarters of Nadia district in the Indian state of West Bengal. Krishnanagar is situated on the southern banks of the Jalangi river. She is claimed to be named[citation needed] after Krishna Chandra Rai (1728 – 1782)[citation needed].
