About this locality

Bankura is the headquarters of Bankura district, the cultural heart of the red laterite plateau of West Bengal where the most famous Bengali crafts originate: the Bankura horse (the terracotta horse-on-pedestal that has become the most recognised icon of Bengal folk art, used as the Doordarshan national broadcaster symbol), the Bishnupur temples of the Malla kings (where the Bengali terracotta temple tradition reached its architectural apex) and the Dhokra metal casting tradition of tribal communities.

Understanding Post Office Types

India Post uses a three-tier hierarchy to organise postal delivery across Bharat.

HO

Head Office

The main postal hub for a division. Manages and coordinates all Sub and Branch Offices in its delivery area.

SO

Sub Office

Serves as the link between the Head Office and last-mile delivery. Oversees a group of Branch Offices.

BO

Branch Office

The last-mile delivery point for a locality. Serves individual households and businesses directly.
