From there he proceeded towards Chhatrabhog, and then traveling through Hatiagarh pargana reached the open sea.”Chaitanyadeva (1486–1534) also went through this route. Travelling by boat toPuri he halted at the village of Atisara, near Baruipur. "His last stoppage in24 Parganas was at Chhatrabhog, now a village within the jurisdiction of theMathurapur police station. Chhatrabhog seems to have been an important river-port on the old Bhagirathi channel." Rama Chandra Khan, thezamindar of Chhatrabhog, helped Chaitanyadeva to continue with his journey.[4]
