Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Sufaran
SUFARAN.
Ten miles north-west from Dulmi, on a high swell, immediately on the left bank of the Subanrikhá river, is the small village of Sufaran or Sápharan; here are some low mounds, and the Ind parab is annually held here. From tradition, and from the circumstance of the Ind Festival being held here, a festival held only in places which traditionally are said to have been royal residences, there can be no doubt that the village was once a place of importance.
