Taki, a municipality under the Hasnabad police station of the Basirhat subdivision in North 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal, is located on the banks of the Ichhamati river, about 75 kms from Kolkata, the major metropolis of eastern India. Now it is a weekend gathering place of the tourists, Taki is a witness to rich heritage, a seat of wealthy landlords or zamindars, a number of whose  palatial buildings in ruins can be spotted in the town. The 300-year-old Jora Shiv Mandir and the Kuleshwari Kali temple are renowned spots of worship.

The other bank of the Ichhamati river is the Satkhira district of Bangladesh. Standing on the bank of Taki, one can watch boats of two countries plying in the river flying their respective flags.

Taki is rich in natural reserves too. Gateway to the Sunderbans, the largest delta of the world, forest areas consisting of the Sundari and Golpata species of trees give a feeling of the Sundarban jungle.

‘Patali Gur’ (jaggery) and the ‘Chanar Malpua’, a pancake-style dessert are popular delicacies of the region. The ‘Gamcha’, a type of thin, coarse, traditional cotton towel, is another speciality product of the area too.

During Vijaya Dashami, the last day of Durga Puja, one can witness the Durga immersion ceremony on the river island which is most famousand remerkable event in West Bangal.
