Plateau of Purulia - Economy - Agriculture - Transportation

Purulia, in West Bengal, India, is known for its arid, rocky terrain, vibrant tribal culture, and booming ecotourism, particularly around the Ajodhya Hills. Agriculture is primarily sustenance-based, focusing on rice and pulses, while transportation is improving with expanded, scenic roads. It is a land of red soil and granite hills. Purulia features a strong cultural identity with a significant tribal population of around 18.45%. The region is the birthplace of the mask-based Chhau dance and the annual Tusu harvest festival. Located in the eastern plateau region, the district experiences a sub-tropical climate with high evaporation and relatively low precipitation, making agriculture dependent on rain and creating a need for irrigation in hilly areas. The landscape is dominated by the Chhotanagpur plateau, characterized by Precambrian metamorphic rocks, primarily granite gneiss, and undulating terrain. Previously rugged, the region has improved connectivity, allowing easy access for tourists visiting sites like Baranti and Murguma. The district is predominantly Hindu with a significant minority Muslim population, featuring local mosques. The district is also rich in mineral resources, ranking high among West Bengal's districts. This video is taken in Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.
