Tamluk, Municipality in West Bengal, India

Tamluk stands along the Rupnarayan River banks near the Bay of Bengal, serving as headquarters for the Purba Medinipur district at 7 meters elevation.

Archaeological excavations indicate that Tamluk, formerly known as Tamralipta, maintained continuous settlement from the 3rd century BC as a maritime trade center.

The Bargabhima Temple, constructed atop ancient mounds, represents one of the 51 Shakti Peethas and remains central to Hindu religious practices in the region.

The city connects through two railway stations, Tamluk Junction and Sahid Matangini, while regular bus services link to major West Bengal destinations.

The region produces and exports betel leaves, with sixty percent of its land dedicated to agricultural activities including rice, coconut, and vegetable cultivation.
