==History==<br />
[[File:Inside_Chintamani_Kar_Bird_Sanactuary.JPG|thumb|right|280px|Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary at Kolkata]] <br />
This is an "abhay aranya", or sanctuary, originally given the status in 1982. The government of [[West Bengal]] took the initiative to make it open to the public and acquired it from private owners in October 2005. The area was notified as Narendrapur Wildlife Sanctuary vide G O No.3019-FOR dated 8 September 2004. It was later renamed as Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary vide G.O No.4300-FOR/FR/O/L/6C-3/04 dated 21 October 2005. This was an honour to celebrated sculptor [[Chintamoni Kar]], who had for many years fought relentlessly to gain the status "kayaler bagan" for the sanctuary.<ref>{{cite web<br />
