Madhupur is a city and a municipality in Deoghar district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a subdivisional town. ==Geography== Madhupur is located at .〔(Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Madhupur )〕 It has an average elevation of . Madhupur is surrounded by two monsoon rivers, Pathrol Nadi and Jayanti Nadi. They feed the Ajay, which is a tributary of the Ganges, meeting it at Katwa in West Bengal. Straddling the two WW's, from 1910 to 1970, a virtual Who's Who of Calcutta visited this little town during the Summer, Durga Pooja and Christmas vacations. Mr Deb Narayan Kundu, GS/O Mr Bijoy Narayan Kundu of Itachuna, Hooghly, Bengal built 32 holiday bungalows for the use of "changers" from Calcutta. These were 1/2, 3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9, 10, 11/12, 31, 29/30, 27/28, 25/26, 23/24, 21/22, 19/20, 32, 13/14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. "Changers" from Calcutta rarely got to use them, as most of them were taken on long leases mainly by retired people. Most eminent citizens of Bengal also built their own places - Gangaprasad House built by Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee (Banglar Bagh!) was a veritable palace. Capt Debendra Chandra Mazumdar from Netrokona, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, was a famous physician who lived here from 1945 till his death in the late sixties. The much-admired Mr Uma Prasad Mookerjee, third son of Sir Ashutosh, used to spend a quarter of his time here and also did much of his writing here. Another eminent personality had been Mr Nitya Gopal Roy (of Hooghly), Retd DM from Bengal. He had been a sub-tenant of Capt D C Mazumdar at No. 15 Kundu Bungalow. Mr Ashwini Kumar Chattoraj was the Govt-appointed Municipal Administrator during the mid-sixties. Dr Pande (Father of Shanti) was the BDO vet around that time. After their transfers the town gradually slipped into poor decay. This is particularly sad for a town whose Municipality, covering Lal Garh, Khalasi Mahalla, Bahanno Bigha, Pathar Chapti, Meena Bazar, Shekhpura, Barbad, Kushma and Kundu Bungalow, was inaugurated by a young lawyer from South Africa, Mr Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1910! Some respectability has been now brought back by the La Opala factory and the well-known school Madhusthali Vidyapeeth. Also, with the upcoming extension up to Koderma of the 150-year-old Madhupur-Giridih railway branch line some growth can be expected. The rather big Kali temple at Pathrol is nearby, to the South-East. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madhupur, Deoghar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
