Shantiniketan - Labhpur - Kirnahar

We have visited Shantiniketan a number of times,  so decided to extend the tour further this time and visited Labhpur, Maa Fullara Temple . The temple is about 30 Kms from Shantiniketan and around 18 Kms from Kankalitala via Bolpur-Labhpur Road .  The Temple ... this is another Satipeeth .. the Lower lip of Sati fell at this place ....   The pond beside the Temple ... According to hearsay, Hanuman collected 108 blue lotuses from the pond when Sri Ramachandra required them for the worship of goddess Durga Hanuman Murti with the Fullara Temple at the Backdrop We also visited the Birth place of Famous Bengali Novelist Sri Tarashankar Bandhyopadhyay at Labhpur. After having "Bhog" at the temple, we visited Japeswar Temple at Kirnahar. It is around 12 Km from Labhpur. Japeswar Temple at Kirnahar - Near Honourable President Mr. Pranab Mukhrjee's Native village.
