The park was inaugurated in 2020 as part of the West Bengal government's beautification project for the Maidan area.
It is named in tribute to the renowned Rabindra Sangeet exponent Suchitra Mitra, whose nickname was Mohar.
The central fountain is equipped with LED lighting and audio systems for synchronized evening displays.
The site was formerly a neglected portion of the Maidan before its conversion into a planned urban park.
The landscape architecture includes a dedicated amphitheater space for community gatherings.
Mohar Kunja is a meticulously landscaped public park located on the edge of Kolkata's historic Maidan. The park features a prominent central musical fountain that hosts synchronized water shows during evening hours. It serves as a commemorative space, originally established to honor the legacy of the legendary singer Suchitra Mitra. The grounds are designed with extensive walkways, manicured lawns, and structural seating areas suitable for walking or sitting. It functions as an urban green lung, providing a buffer between the busy Cathedral Road and the open expanse of the Maidan. The site maintains a clean, modern aesthetic distinct from the surrounding colonial-era parklands. Regular cultural events and small-scale performances are hosted within its perimeter. The park is managed by the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority as part of ongoing urban revitalization efforts in the Maidan area.

Bring a portable fan or cooling towel if visiting during the humid summer months.
Evening visits are recommended to experience the illuminated fountain displays.
The park is largely open-air with limited natural canopy, so sunscreen and head protection are essential.
Do not wander into the unlit, unpaved areas of the adjacent Maidan after dark.
The park may experience temporary access restrictions during major government events or during monsoon-related ground maintenance.
Maintain silence near designated meditation or reading zones; respect local norms regarding public displays of affection.
