The Jalpaiguri District Information and Culture department has created a digital archive to showcase the district’s cultural heritage online. As part of the Digital District Cultural Repository of the state Information and Culture department, the initiative serves as an online library documenting historical architecture, festivals and traditions.
The archive highlights heritage sites such as Baikunthapur Rajbari, Singhaduar Gate, Shiva and Manasa temples and Dighi. While most districts in the state have yet to develop such archives, Jalpaiguri and Malda have taken the lead in North Bengal. The repository also includes archaeological monuments and traditional fairs from Malda district.
