Bankura II community development block

Bankura II is a community development block in the Bankura Sadar subdivision that covers a substantial geographical area encompassing numerous villages. The region combines agricultural lands with varied topography, including both level ground and hilly terrain across its expanse.

The block came under British administration during the mid-18th century following shifts in local power structures. This period marked a turning point in how the region was organized and governed.

The population includes multiple communities where Hinduism represents 83.12 percent and Islam 14.08 percent, with Bengali as the primary language.

The area is best visited during autumn and winter months when the weather is moderate and the landscape shows the results of harvest activity. Visitors should account for local road conditions, as rural paths can become challenging during the monsoon season.

The block maintains an elevation of 89 meters and features both flat surfaces and hilly areas within the Bankura-Bishnupur Rarh Plains.
