How To Reach Chitralekha Udyan

Tezpur, Assam, India
Chitralekha Udyan, popularly known by its colonial name, Cole Park, is one of the oldest and most beautiful public parks in Tezpur, Assam. The park was originally established in 1906 by Mr. Cole, a British Deputy Commissioner. Later, it was renamed in honor of Chitralekha, the mythological companion of Princess Usha (from the legend of Agnigarh Hill), who was a master artist and possessed mystical powers. Spanning a large area, the park is a cherished green lung of the city, famous for its well-manicured landscaped gardens, a scenic lake, and its collection of significant archaeological remnants. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls along the paved walkways, relax by the water body, or engage in various recreational activities. The park beautifully blends natural tranquility with historical significance. The serene lake offers paddle boating facilities, and various amusement features, including bumping cars and a children's play area, make it highly popular with families. Historically, the park is a repository of ancient stone art, including a replica of the Bhomoraguri Inscription, which records the plans for a bridge over the Brahmaputra where the current Kolia Bhomora Setu stands. It also houses significant stone pillars and ruins collected from nearby archaeological sites like the Bamuni Hills, making it an open-air museum of Assam’s rich sculptural heritage. The blend of colonial-era charm, mythological association, recreational options, and historical artifacts makes Chitralekha Udyan a must-visit spot in Tezpur. In the evenings, the atmosphere is particularly charming, with a musical fountain adding to the visual appeal. The park is well-maintained and serves as a cultural and recreational hub for the local community and tourists alike.

By Local Transport (Walk, Cycle-Rickshaws, Auto-Rickshaws): Due to its very central location, the park is highly accessible. For those staying in central Tezpur hotels, it's often a pleasant 10-15 minute walk. The most common and convenient modes of transport are readily available auto-rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws.
