The Arambagh subdivision, presented in the map alongside, is divided into two physiographic parts – the Dwarakeswar River being the dividing line. The western part is upland and rocky – it is extension of the terrain of neighbouring Bankura district. The eastern part is flat alluvial plain area. The railways, the roads and flood-control measures have had an impact on the area.^[5] The area is overwhelmingly rural with 94.77% of the population living in rural areas and 5.23% of the population living in urban areas.^[6]
