Shyambazar is a neighbourhood of North Kolkata, in Kolkata district in the Indian state of West Bengal. The area, under Shyampukur police station of Kolkata Police,[1] has been, along with neighbouring Bagbazar, the citadel of the Bengali aristocracy, in a part of what was earlier known as Sutanuti.[2] and the popularity of Shyambazer five point crossing is for the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Shyambazar broadly covers Ward Nos.10, 11, and 12 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.[3]
