History of Egra (Purba Medinipur)

In the historical perspective, the geographical and topographical location of Egra town is unique and of utmost importance with so many aspects. Its present structural position in all respects, Egra town has gained to-day, has been built up with endeavour of people for many years since distance past. In ancient time the Bay of Bengal was extended to this area, even up to Tamluk, which was an ancient seaport. As for instance an ancient lighthouse has been still existing 5km. from Egra town towards south. An anchor station ‘Angarghat’ at Angargaria is said to be existed to the south of ward No.-2. In course of time due to anchoring
of sheeps at that site, the place has got the name as Angorgaria. The ancient name of Egra was ‘Agrapattan’ and gradually Agrapattan becomes Egra by changing dialect colloquially. The historical Shiva temple at Hottanagar is situated at the Egra town. There is a hearsay that this Shiva temple was constructed during the reign of Mukundadev, the king of Orissa. Inside the temple the ‘Shivalingam’ having the equivalent height of the temple is installed at the heart of the temple. In ancient time the temple area was completely full of jungle and woods. There is usage that a milch cow would come to the deep forest and give milk upon the Shivalingam. Being heard of this event, Orissa king Mukundadev searched and traced out the said Shivalingam and started to construct the temple there. Every year on the occasion of Shivachaturdasi a great fair takes place at that site.

Bankim Chandra Chattapadhaya the laurete of Bengali literature took over the charges of Negua, the then Sub-Division, as Deputy Magistrate and would reside at Egra, the then Sub-Divisional town. During his stay at Egra he wrote his famous novel “Kapalkundala”. This place where he would live is called Duckbunglow and at this place the Egra municipal administrative building has been established at present.

Egra was a famous ground of freedom struggle of many freedom fighters. The martyr Khudiram Basu used to come Egra town to encourage, attract and make the youngsters expert in ‘swimming and fighting with sticks (Lathi Khela). The crownless emperor, Birendranath Sasmal, the resident of Contai came many times at Egra town to attend to the pogrammes of Indian freedom movement. Egra was one of the most remarkable centre places of freedom movement; its practice centre was at Egra Hottanagar temple, an ancient traditional sacred place.

At present Egra town is directly connected with highway connectivities with different places such as Kanthi, Digha, Mohanpur, Solpatta, Dantan, Sonakonia, Pataspur, Bhagwanpur, Balichak, Debra, Kharagpur, Medinipur, Tamluk, Haldia, Kolkata, Bishnupur, Bankura, Purulia, Durgapur, Burdwan, Asansol, Siuri, and Chittaranjan etc. Apart from these link roads, direct highway communications with Jaleswar, Baleswar, Chandbali, Dhamra, Katak, Bhubaneswar of Orissa state and Tatanagar, Jamsedpur of Bihar state and so on, Egra town has converted and become a great business and commercial hub.
