Nadia district is mostly alluvial plains lying to the east of Hooghly River, locally known as Bhagirathi.

The alluvial plains are cut across by such distributaries as Jalangi, Churni and Ichhamati.

[1] The Ranaghat subdivision has the Bhagirathi on the west, with Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly districts lying across the river.

Topographically, Ranaghat subdivision is spread across the Krishnanagar-Santipur Plain, which occupies the central part of the district, and the Ranaghat-Chakdaha Plain, the low-lying area found in the south-eastern part of the district.

It is governed by Gram Panchayat and although considered as a rural village Dattapulia's people enjoy as many facilities as those of a town.

Another important thing about Duttapulia is it is situated at one end of Nadia District as well as at the border of India-Bangladesh.
