A history of faith and devotion

A weekend destination near Kolkata, Tarapith is the most visited place in the district of Birbhum gaining wide spread popularity as a site of Hindu pilgrimage. The place is named after “Tara” meaning eyeball which in Hindu mythology relates to the “Tandav” dance by lord Shiva wherein the body of Goddess Sati was shattered into pieces. The eyeballs were believed to have graced the land of Tarapith, where the deity is enshrined inside the famous temple. It is this very place where Bamakhyapa, one of the greatest devotees of Goddess Tara did his “sadhana” or meditation.
