Tilkari is a village in the Tetiya Bamber Block of Haveli Kharagpur in the Munger district of Bihar, India.

## Geography[edit]

Tilkari is located on the banks of the beautiful Mahane river. With a population of about 2000, it lies under the jurisdiction of Tetia Bamber block(prakhand). It is only 10 kilometers from Haveli Kharagpur to its north-west and about the same distance from Tarapur in the north-east direction.

## Places of worship[edit]

Tilkari has a few places of worship that are frequented by locals as well as from nearby villagers. It has a Kali Sthan which is quite old. Kali Sthan used to have goat sacrifice in the past but it is no longer practiced.

There is a Shiv-Parvati temple which was built in late 1990s with the help of donations from villagers. It is on the south side close to the Mahane river.

On the west side of Tilkari there is a Durga temple also called as Durgasthan.

## Agriculture[edit]

Since it lies within the Indo-Gangetic Plain area, and hence "The Gangetic Alluvium" soil is found in this area[1] which is very fertile.

The primary source of livelihood is Agriculture. People grow rice, wheat, sugarcane, maize, masoor, moong, arhar.

## Education[edit]

The quality of education offered locally is low so most people who can afford send their kids outside to bigger towns and cities. This part of Bihar has generally been ignored by the government and that reflects in the infrastructure including education.

Those who can't afford send their kids to Primary school Jagatpura. After primary education, students go to Tetia Bamber high school [2] to complete their 10th board.
