Kogram

Kogram is a village in Ketugram I CD block in Katwa subdivision of Purba Bardhaman district in West Bengal, India.

In the olden days, many merchants lived in the riverine territory now a part of Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly districts, with easy access to the port-town of Saptagram.

[3] Kumud Ranjan Mullick, a notable Bengali writer and poet, was born at Kogram on 3 March 1882, and wrote many of his poems there.

Lochan Das, author of Chaitanya Mangala (16th century), was born at Kogram.

[6] It is said that a piece of the right arm-bend of Sati fell at Kogram and it is considered one of the fifty one shakti peethas.

[7] As in other parts of neighbouring rural Bengal, in the Ujani-Kogram area also, the non-Aryan content in the regional religious practices were predominant.

Earlier, there was also an idol of Jain tirthankara Shantinatha – it was taken away and is now at Bangiya Sahitya Parishad in Kolkata.
