Jhamatpur is a village of West Bengal, near Ketugram, 4 km east of Jhamatpur-Baharanpur, 157 km north from Howrah, on the B.A.K. loop of the Eastern Railway. This is also about 14 km north of Katwa, West Bengal.

The village is famous as the birthplace of Krishnadasa Kaviraja,[citation needed] the author of the Chaitanya Charitamrita, a biography of the mystic and saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

The Vaishnav tradition is still maintained by different socio-cultural programs throughout the year, specially the famous Nama-kirtana accompanying feast for several days after Durgapuja.
