Samudragarh is a village in Purbasthali I CD block in Kalna subdivision[1] of Purba Bardhaman district in the state of West Bengal, India. Nadanghat police station serves this village. It is about 15 km away from Kalna, India. It is situated on the western bank of the Bhāgirathi.
Etymology
The word Samudragarh derives from two Bengali term Samudra (means sea in English) and Garh (means fort in English). Though there are several explanations about the origin of this name but the main explanation is that the term Samudra came from a name of a local king and as the king built his fort in this place so the word Garh came that fort itself.(Though there is no fort has been found yet). Another explanation is that the area is surrounded by water bodies in all side, so related to water, the name might have come.

Economy
After the partition of India, many skilled weavers of Dhaka came and settled in West Bengal around Shantipur in Nadia district and Ambika Kalna of Bardhaman district, both traditionally renowned centres for hand-woven fabrics. With government encouragement and support, the talented weavers soon revived their ancestral occupation and the art of exquisite weaving once again flourished. Today, finely woven feather-touch textiles and saris in exotic designs and colours are being produced in the vast weaving belt of Shantipur, Phulia, Samudragarh, Dhatrigram and Ambika Kalna—each centre producing superb fabrics in its own unique weaving style. Samudragram specializes in a combination of jacquard and jamdani work. The produce is marketed through co-operatives and various undertakings.[7]
