Block Wise Primary Census Abstract Data(PCA) | work= West Bengal – District-wise CD Blocks|publisher= Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India | access-date = 3 August 2020}}</ref>

==Historical ruins==
The ruins of an old fort, known as ''Chilarair Kot'', are located here. Sukladwaj or [[Chilarai]], (1510-1571), younger brother of [[Nara Narayan]], of the [[Koch dynasty]], had established the fort.<ref name="fort">Koch Bihar Jelar Purakirti (in Bengali), Data compilation and writing by Dr. Shyamachand Mukhopadhayay, published by the Department of Archaeology, Government of West Bengal, Second edition 1974, Pages 26-28.</ref>

According to historian Harendranth Chowdhury, Chilarai used to live in a wood or bamboo built complex in the fort that was well protected by high walls. Possibly it earlier was a ''mecha ghar'', a temporary structure built of wood or bamboo, for the purpose of engaging in warfare, in the 16-17th century, close to a highway. Chilarai had built several such ''mecha ghars'' along the road to Assam for use in warfare against the king of Assam. Chilarai was very fond of the ''mecha ghar'' at Andaran Fulbari, on the banks of the [[Raidak River]]. It is said that the name of the place earlier was only Fulbari, and the prefix was added because the fort housed the ''andar mahal'' (family quarters) of Chilarai.<ref name="fort"/>

There is no trace of the structures built of wood or bamboo, but the remains of the surrounding protection walls are still there. The earthen surrounding walls were strengthened at the base with lime and brickbats. At present it is 7 feet high and 6 feet wide, but it is believed to have been higher in the earlier days. In the north and south it is 270 feet long, and on the east and west it is 210 feet long. There is a 5 feet gap in the east, which possibly was the entrance. The ''andar mahal'' probably had a separate entrance. The land inside the fort measures {{convert|56700|ft2}}.<ref name="fort"/>

Chilarai had once hidden the Assamese [[Vaishnavism]] preacher [[Sankardev]] in his fort, to protect him from the wrath of his elder brother, [[Nara Narayan]]. Chilarai was possibly influenced by the sage at Andaran Fulbari and later converted to Vaishnavism. It may be mentioned here that although [[Narayana]] was the family deity of the [[Koch dynasty]] they followed [[Shaktism]] and were worshippers of goddess Kamteswari.<ref name="fort"/>

The ruins of another fort, known as ''Chilarair Bara Kot'', is there at [[Kamat Phulbari]], {{convert|2.4|km}} away.<ref name="fort"/>
