Kajlagarh is a village and a gram panchayat in Bhagabanpur I CD block in Egra subdivision of Purba Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal, India.

Kajlagarh or "Sujamutha" was a historic Kingdom ruled by the Mahishya Chowdhury family under the suzerainty of the powerful Hijli state.

About nearly 400 hundred years ago the ruling house was founded by one Govardhan Ranajhamp, a local Mahishya chieftain, who was bestowed upon the honorific title Chowdhury, by the Nawab of Hijli, for the military and administrative services he rendered to him.

The next king, Debendra Narayan granted lands to many Brahmins and learned scholars, notable among them was Ramkanai Vachaspati.
