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

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.

Nimpith - Kaikhali

A place near Sundarbans on the bank of Matla river. Only option to stay there is The Ramkrishna Mision Ashram Guest House. Having no Electricity with blowing wind all the time, breathtaking view of vast Matla river. The distance from Kolkata is around 80Kms and takes around 1 and half hours by road. The driving direction is EM Bypass > Kamalgaji  > Baruipur Level Crossing > Dakshin Barasat > Joynagar > Nimpith > Jamtola > Kaikhali.  We first visited to Nimpith Ramakrishna Ashram, the way we were welcomed was amazingly heart-warming.Quickly we were allotted a room and asked to freshen up. After about half an hour when the call for lunch came, we were taken to a nearby building. After a sumptuous lunch and a short afternoon nap, we set out to our final destination – Kaikhali.

Chakladham - Birth place of Baba Loknath.

It was a long due to visit Baba Loknath Dham in Chakla. Finally decided to have the darshan on my 43 rd birthday. Started at around 8 AM in the morning on 22-Nov-2015. Now a days the google map has made the driver’s life very easy. So set the destination and simply followed the direction. The road condition was ok except few patches on Barasat Taki road.  The temple place is very nice and clean. Very organized as well. Also visited the Chakla Kali Mandir just 50 metres from the Baba Loknath Mandir. Very serene and what a peace of mind. Offered puja and anjali to “Ma Kali”. This Idol of Ma Kali is very old. Father of Loknath baba used to worship Ma kali here and the little Loknath used to seat there and watch the puja by his father. Added some photographs that I took with all my amateur skill.

Shantiniketan

Shantiniketan is a much visited place though, but in this trip our stay in Jiraan resort was indeed relaxing and rejuvenating in an absolute rural ambiance  . Jiraan is located at Kamarpara village in Birbhum district, West Bengal. On the highway between Bolpur and Ilambazar, right after BITM college comes Kamarpara bus-stop and the gates of Jiraan-The Retreat.
