Is it indeed a village? But is it that Ghoradhara? No, the name has not changed and there is no reason for it to change. Once upon a time, this place was ruled over by a king, named Kadmahari. The king of his neighbouring villages came to an agreement and attacked Kadmahari. When Kadmahari realised that he was going to lose, he took his queen in the horse and they attempted to escape. But his enemies did not leave him. They chased him. The place where the enemies of Kadmahari chopped off his head is known as Rajakata. The place where the queen was made a prisoner, is to known as Ranibandh. The enemies of Kadmahari did not let the horse go. The horse was chased and was ultimately caught. It is here in Ghoradhara, it is said, that the horse was caught.

The village Ghoradhara of Ranibandh block in the district of Bankura is though unchanged by its name has changed drastically of every thing in terms of transport and communication, public health, electricity, education, agriculture and modern living conditions etc. due to the existence and development of three tier elected panchayat system supported by the left front government in West Bengal.

On the basis of the reports published in the Statesman on 7th march 1976, it can be clearly said that during that period Ghoradhara was just a remote village where modern civilisation was yet to be begin in the true sense of the term. Earlier it used to take 24 hours to reach Ghoradhara from Bankura. This village is located at a distance of 3 to 4 kilometers from Ranibandh - Bankura highway, which was the only way of communication for this village with the world outside. The river Kansabati flows over the high way but at that time there were no river bridge, which could join Ranibandh with the high way. In the year 1976 the bus, which used to come from Bankura to Ranibandh had to cross the river in winter but during monsoon people had the only option to cross the river by boat.

The distance of the nearest health centre from this village was about 6 miles there was no doctor till at the time of emergency period in 1976. The people of this village were dependent upon a quack. At the time of acute disease they were dependent on the medicine of quack as well as compassion of gold, there was any other option to them.
