==Etymology== thumb|Jora Shiv Temple at Garalgacha There are three opinions about the name of Garalgachha. One of the popular opinions is 'Garal' means poison. Lord Shiva controlled poison by keeping it at his throat. So He was called master of Garal (Garaladhipati). There is a tree (gach in Bengali) by the side of river Saraswati where the symbol of Lord Shiva exists, that tree was called as Garal (poison) gachh (tree). From this name converted the name of Garalgachha of this place.
