The park, inaugurated by Chairman-cum-Managing Director of The West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) in New Town area on Friday, is dedicated to 'Sonar Kella' (The Golden Fortress), the first and one of the two Feluda films directed by Ray in 1974.
The theme park, named 'Sonar Kella Udyan', is dotted with models of Feluda, his nephew-cum-assistant Topshe a.K.A Tapesh Ranjan Mitter and friend-writer Jatayu, a.K.A Lal Mohan Ganguly on camel back trying to chase the kidnappers of 'Mukul', the boy who was kidnapped in the film based on a detective story by Ray.
The whole thing is aimed at recreating the Sonar Kella effect for the theme park visitors, many of whom will fondly recall some of the unforgettable moments of the film, Debashis Sen said.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the character of Feluda which first appeared in Bengali children's magazine 'Sandesh'. The Feluda films made by Satyajit Ray had Soumitra Chatterjee playing the detective.
