The village is famous as the birthplace of Krishnadasa Kaviraja, the author of the Chaitanya Charitamrita, a biography of the mystic and saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

The Vaishnav tradition is still maintained by different socio-cultural programs throughout the year, specially the famous Nama-kirtana accompanying feast for several days after Durgapuja.
