Hridaypur is a locality in the municipal area of Barasat in the state of West Bengal, India. Hridaypur is also a railway station in Bongaon-Sealdah line, a part of the Kolkata Suburban Railway system, located 21 kilometres (13 mi) from Sealdah Station[1] of Kolkata.

The rail-line bisects the area in 2 zones:

The Eastern part extends to National Highway 34. The western part is larger as well as more rural. West Hridaypur lacks any defined boundary. The western part of Hridaypur also connects to Madhyamgram Sajirhat via Kora Badamtola.

Hridaypur is notable for the Pranavananda Matri Ashram which is an orphanage for girls following the ideals and teachings of Swami Pranavananda, the founder of Bharat Sevashram Sangha. The ashram also houses a school where a large number of children of the local area study.
