Gazole extends across 513 square kilometers of land within the Barind Tract, featuring ancient alluvial hills that remain protected from flooding conditions.

The block territory contains ruins of Pandua, which functioned as a major political center during the Sena Dynasty and later under Hussain Shahi sultans.

The population includes a mix of Hindu and Muslim communities, with Bengali, Santali, and Koda languages reflecting the regional demographic diversity.
