The Eden Gardens were created in 1840 by the two sisters who were
related to the Governor General, Lord Auckland. The idea was to
make a Biblical - style garden of Eden in India. The vast expanse
dotted with beautiful trees and shrubs is intersected by winding
paths. There is a large artificial lake here. Adjoining the lake is
the Pagoda which was brought to Calcutta from
Burma after the British defeated the Burmese in the war of 1884.
