Earlier it was this non-descript village was known as Makdumnagar and was set up by the “Dewan” of the Maharaja of Burdwan in the 17th Century to re-settle locals affected by a flood which had covered the entire area in sand (bali). Bali-Dewangunj was famous as a manufacturing centre for silk, zari and handmade paper. So fine was the silk produced here, that Burmese pirates, known in Bengal as “Magh” would often raid Bali-Dewangunj and carry it away by the cartload. The remains of terracotta temples are being maintained by Archaeological Survey of India.
