Keshiary (also spelled as Keshiari) is a village in the Keshiari CD block in the Kharagpur subdivision of the Paschim Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal.
==Etymology== According to the Rennell's map of Bengal (1776AD), present days Keshiary was presented as 'Cofsary' or 'Cossary' in the map. One more area just below the 'Cossary' was presented as 'Rani-saray' which is pronounced same today, the name signifies about a Sarai-Khana (Hotel). Similarly Cossary is also 'Co' and 'Ssary' (a hotel sarai-khana). Thus in the word 'Ke-sh-i-ary' the term 'sh-i-ary' (originally Sarai) can be noticed. It signifies prsecence of a sarai in older times in that region.
