Demographics[edit | edit source]

As per the 2011 Census of India, Chamta had a total population of 8,190. There were 4,240 (52%) males and 3,950 (48%) females. There were 885 persons in the age range of 0 to 6 years. The total number of literate people in Chamta was 5,529 (75.69% of the population over 6 years).[3]

Culture[edit | edit source]

There is a small temple with char-chala tin roof, wherein a triangular stone covered with vermillion is worshipped as Devi Ghurneswari, a form of goddess Kali. A trishula representing Bhairava is also worshipped. The temple draws devotees in large numbers on festive occasions. According to local legend, a cow/ buffalo used to come regularly and offer milk to the stone-piece lying under a banyan tree. Information about the incident reached Maharaja Harendra Narayan (1780-1839) of Cooch Behar State. He had a temple built, but the present one seems to be a later construction.[4]
