Ketugram

[1] According to Binoy Ghosh, it is claimed by some that Ketugram was the birthplace of 14th century lyric poet Chandidas of Vaishnava Padavali fame.

It is said that the people of Ketugram were furious with Chandidas for marrying a low-caste widow.

Later, when hostilities subsided, Chandidas was even accepted back in Ketugram as the priest of Bahulakshi temple.

The place in the northern part of Ketugram, which is believed to be the birth-place of Chandidas, is even today referred to by the locals as “Chandibhita”.

As per the 2011 Census of India Ketugram had a total population of 9,990, of which 5,127 (51%) were males and 4,863 (49%) were females.

The stone image of Bahula, along with those of Kartikeya and Ganesha, was established by Raja Chandraketu.
