Jangipara community development block, Administrative block in Srirampore subdivision, India

The Jangipara community development block covers 164 square kilometers of fertile plains within the Hooghly-Damodar region of West Bengal.

During the 16th century, Rajbalhat in Jangipara stood as the capital of the Bhurishrestha Empire, featuring the temple of Rajballavi that remains present.

The Furfura Sharif mosque, constructed in 1375, maintains its position as a principal Muslim pilgrimage destination within the Jangipara administrative region.

The block contains one rural hospital, four primary health centers, and six private nursing facilities to serve its population of 221,578 residents.

At Antpur Math in 1886, nine disciples of Shri Ramakrishna, including Swami Vivekananda, made their formal declarations to pursue religious life.
