Bhagawangola II extends across 149 square kilometers of alluvial plains, characterized by several rivers that shape the agricultural landscape of West Bengal.

The establishment of this administrative division marked a change in local governance, focusing on improving living conditions and agricultural practices for the population.

The block contains numerous villages where Bengali traditions persist, with a population distribution of 85 percent Muslim residents and 14 percent Hindu inhabitants.

The area maintains six commercial banks, three ferry services, and multiple bus routes connecting residents to neighboring regions and essential services.
