What I found by searching the net, some interesting information  ...
G-Plot and Gobardhanpur is referred to as the same location.Gobardhanpur is a village located in G-Plot Island.It is situated near  the confluence of the Hooghly River &  Bay Of Bengal (in the Sundarban Delta,).It is famous for approximately 15km long beach plus  its dense Jhaubon  (casuarina) forest & red crabs.
