Understand
[edit]Purulia has the mixed culture of Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha as it was a part of these regions for various times. From archaeological evidences to local festivals, every cultural event has got a tribal touch in it, which is the speciality of the district. Living mostly in rural areas and keeping intact many of their socio-cultural values, more or less in pristine forms, the countrymen have their folks to speak about many of their tenets.
Purulia is an interesting blend of nature and history. The district has lush green mountain ranges with rocky outcrops. It is a place for adventure sports like rock climbing. During the winter rock climbing, camping and nature study courses are held in the outskirts of the district headquarters. Purulia also has a rich heritage, with several archeological sites of Hindu and Jain origin in the district.
