Culture

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).

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.
