[edit] Khetur, 1908

Village in the head-quarters subdivision of Rajshahi Dis- trict, Eastern Bengal and Assam, situated in 24 degree =24' N. and 88° 25' E. Population (1901), 440. It enjoys a high repute for sanctity from its having been visited by Chaitanya, the great Hindu religious reformer of the sixteenth century, in whose honour a temple has been erected in the village. A religious fair held annually in October is attended by 25,000 persons.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
