Kumirkola
Kumirkola is a small village residing on the banks of the Damodar river, which flows through the heart of Burdwan district of West Bengal in India. It has a population of about 1737 persons living in 339 households. The name Kumirkola is probably derived from two Bengali words "Kumir" and "khola", indicating a crocodile and a rough surface. It is possible that the name could be derived from the dry lands of the village, alleged metaphorically to the rough textured skin of a crocodile. The Durga puja (worship of Goddess Durga) during the month of September–October is done by the Banerjee family of Kumirkola. The family stems from the charismatic figure of District Magistrate Pyarimohan Banerjee, who started the Durga puja in 1830.
