Located in West Bengal's Hooghly district, Goghat II community development block spans 186 square kilometers of fertile agricultural land at 42 meters above sea level.

The administrative region contains the ruins of an Afghan fort at Garh Mandaran, which gained literary recognition in the novel Durgeshnandini by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 95 percent of the population, while Santali maintains a presence among specific communities in the block.
