Jalpaiguri division, Administrative division in West Bengal, India
Jalpaiguri division spans across 12,713 square kilometers in northern West Bengal, encompassing five districts with mountains, valleys, rivers, and tea plantations throughout the region.
The division emerged from the Bengal Presidency during India's independence in 1947, marking a significant administrative reorganization in the northern part of West Bengal.
The population of 8.5 million people speaks Bengali, Nepali, Rajbanshi, and other languages, creating a mixture of traditions visible in local festivals and customs.
