Eden Gardens
ইডেন গার্ডেন্স
Opened in 1864, India's most famous cricket ground, holding about 68,000 spectators, with a fervent atmosphere on match days.
Eden Gardens is India's oldest and most famous cricket ground. It hosted World Cup matches in 1987 and 2011 and is the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. The stands are lively on match days, and tickets can be bought through the official platform. The ground is generally closed to visitors on non-match days, but the adjacent Eden Gardens park has a wooden pavilion moved from Burma in 1856. It lies southwest of BBD Bagh, near the Hooghly River.
