Overview
Significance
- Chaugan Stadium is one of the oldest and most treasured venues for the city's major cultural, social and sporting events. Bearing the name 'Chaugan' which has several meanings (open ground and the curved end of a hockey stick), this stadium is situated between Gangauri Bazaar and the City Palace. Comprised of a large space fringed by small playgrounds, the stadium is divided into three octagonal shaped stands including the Chini-ki-Burj to the north-west of the stadium, Moti Burj to the north-east and Shyam Burj to the north. Each section served a different purpose during the royal era, and they continue to do so even today. This stadium is a must-visit during the Teej festival and Elephant festival, when the entire city witnesses polo tournaments, music and dance performances, processions and elephant races. It is no wonder then that Chaugun has become an institution of its own?
