According to the 2011 Census of India, Pathra had a total population of 3,356, of which 1,726 (51%) were males and 1,639 (49%) were females.

The total number of literate persons in Pathra was 1,921 (67.14% of the population over 6 years).

Unfortunately, many of the temples are in bad shape because of lack of preservation, damage by the Kangsabati and vandalizing by the locals.

However, with the persistent efforts of a small group of enthusiasts, Pathra has turned the tide.
