Rajballavi Mata temple one of the famous devotional place in Hooghly district in a village called Rajbalhat under Gram Panchayet Rajbolhat II  in the Jangipara CD Block

A traditional local proverb describes the village structure: “Char chak, chodda para, tin ghat; ei neye Rajbalhat” (Four crossings, fourteen localities, and three bathing ghats).

Rajbalhat, a census town in Hooghly district, was the 16th-century capital of the prosperous Bhursut (Bhurishrestha) kingdom, which extended across parts of Howrah and Hooghly and renowned as a hub for silk, handloom, and terracotta art.

The East India Company established a commercial residency in 1789 due to the area’s significance in the silk industry. Known historically as an important silk and textile center, the tradition of handloom weaving continues to this day.

Terracotta panels from the 18th century in the area often reflect colonial interactions, featuring depictions of European soldiers, ships, and cannons.

The town is named after the presiding deity, Rajballavi, a unique form of Shakti (associated with Durga, Kali, and Saraswati). The 16th-century temple is very much active, though it has been extensively renovated.
