Teghoria gains its name from the myth that it was once a settlement constituted by only 3 houses ('te' meaning three and ‘ghar’ meaning house in Bengali). This place is also famous in West Bengal and Bangladesh because it houses the shrine of a human-deity, a spiritual Guru popularly hailed as 'Loknath Baba' (maybe translated as ‘People’s Lord –the Father’). The temple is popularly known as the Loknath Mandir and twice or thrice a year, thousands of devotees from near and far, throng the temple premises and fairs and street shops are set up to celebrate the religious festivals.
Recently, Teghoria has become a favourite residential site for employees of the IT sector because of its magnificent location. Rajarhat Main Road near Loknath Mandir area is very important and crowded with many Residential Flats, small & big shops and a very good & caring Pre Primary school for kids called Shining Gems Kidz School, which is the major landmark. There is Loknath Market Complex also which has many shops at inside.
