It is said that the people of Ketugram were furious with Chandidas for marrying a low-caste widow. He went away to [[Nanoor]] in the adjoining ~~Birbhum~~ district of Birbhum, along with the idol of Bisalakshi that he used to worship. 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”.<ref name=binoyghosh/> ==Geography== Line 72: \|mark-coord3={{coord\|23\|37\|30\|N\|88\|7\|56\|E}} \| label-pos3=bottom\|label3=Panuhat \| numbered3=CT\| mark-title3= [[Panuhat]] (CT)\|shape-color3=#A40000 \|mark-coord4={{coord\|23\|31\|30\|N\|87\|54\|12\|E}} \| label-pos4=bottom\|label4= Mongalkote\| numbered4=R\| mark-title4= [[Mongalkote]] (R)\| shape-color4=#C42222 \|mark-coord5={{coord\|23\|42\|6\|N\|88\|2\|38\|E}} \| label-pos5=left\|label5= Ketugram\| numbered5=R\| mark-title5= [[Ketugram]] (R)\|shape-color5=black\| label-size5=13\|label-color5=black <!-- make the subject of the article stand out with black colors --> \|mark-coord6={{coord\|23\|32\|44\|N\|87\|54\|8\|E}} \| label-pos6=right\|label6= Nutanhat\| numbered6=R\| mark-title6= [[Nutanhat]] (R)\| shape-color6=#C42222 \|mark-coord7={{coord\|23\|43\|53\|N\|87\|58\|10\|E}} \| label-pos7=right\|label7= Kandra\| numbered7=R\| mark-title7= [[Kandra, Bardhaman]] (R)\| shape-color7=#C42222 Line 90: ===Physiography=== Ketugram is in the flat [[alluvial]] Kanksa Ketugram plain, which lies along the [[Ajay River\|Ajay]].<ref>{{cite web\| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/DCHB/DCHB_A/19/1909_PART_A_DCHB_BARDDHAMAN.pdf \|title = Census of India 2011, West Bengal: District Census Handbook, Barddhaman \|work = Physiography, pages 13-14\| publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal \| ~~accessdate~~access-date = 23 February 2019}}</ref> ===Police station=== Ketugram police station has jurisdiction over [[Ketugram I]] and [[Ketugram II]] CD Blocks.
