Kamarpukur
is a village situated in the Arambag subdivision of the Hooghly District in
West Bengal state of India. It is famous for being the birthplace of
Ramakrishna. It is the block headquarters of the Goghat. Kamarpukur is located
at 22.91°N 87.65°E. A mile to the north of Kamarpukur, is situated the village
of Bhursubo where a well-to-do person named Manik Raja lived. The renowned
tanks of Sukhasayer and Hatisayer excavated by him as also the mango-grove now
almost extinct in the nearby meadows, testify to some of his noteworthy acts.
On
the western border of Kamarpukur, the canal Bhutir-Khal flows in a zigzag
course from the north to the south and joins the Amodar river at a little
distance.
Two
cremation grounds called Budhui Moral and Bhutir-Khal lie on the north-east and
north-west of the village respectively. Along the eastern border of the village
a spacious road runs from Burdwan (32 miles from Kamarpukur) to Puri in Orissa.
