Raibania - Hatigarh are two twin village. The name of the village is changed what was the name in old days. Sankhabhanga or Sardarband, Subarnarekha river and the Bay of Bengal are closely associated to the villages located nearby. Once there was a vast area with a so called civilization related to the lost habitat of a certain clan. The famous local dialect "fi-fu.. fi-su.." is common identity of the Roop Nagar of India where many story tellers would travel frequently to compose the storylines. The 'Mahatsabha' festival and prayer offering to the Basil plant on the podium (Tulsi Mancha) are important features in the very name of the place.

Pathra. Binda Pathra, Bhabani Nagar and Mahatap Nagar, near about 10-12 kms. distance from Midnapore district town,PIN Code 721149,West Bengal,India, are the base of the temple city. Archeological Survey of India repaired the foundation of these temples. The site is not close to one another temple. Temples are small and dispersed through the villages. Once the temples were in the bank of Kansabati river with a lower basement. Later to make the road the level of the base-field is become even and higher than that of earlier set up. The terracotta work on the wall of temples and the mud,brick,sand and organic materials used to build the heritage site is the portfolio of Bengal Renaissance. No stones are used to establish the tunnel like pathway of temple in the entrance. This place is identified ,perhaps, to avoid the tragic life of town. There is similarity in characters of art and structure with the old temples of Coochbehar, Bankura and Nadia districts in West Bengal. The drainage system is well equipped high drain and pump set and connected to the river directly.
