🕉 🚩🔱 🇮🇳⠀ ⠀ Tārāpīṭh is a Hindu temple in Chandipur village Rampurhat II CD block in Rampurhat subdivision of Birbhum district of the Indian state of West Bengal, known for its Tantric temple and its adjoining cremation (Maha Shashan) grounds where sādhanā (tantric rituals) are performed. The Tantric Hindu temple is dedicated to the goddess Tara, a fearsome Tantric aspect of the Devi, the chief temples of Shaktism. Tarapith derives its name from its association as the most important centre of Tara worship.⠀ ⠀ Tarapith is also famous for Sadhak Bamakhepa, known as the avadhuta or "mad saint", who worshipped in the temple and resided in the cremation grounds as a mendicant and practised and perfected yoga and the tantric arts under the tutelage of another famous saint, Kailashpathi Baba. Bamakhepa dedicated his entire life to the worship of Tara Maa. His ashram is also located in bank of Dwaraka river and close to the Tara temple.⠀ ⠀ According to one popular belief, an insulted Sati, the wife of Shiva, sacrificed herself at a yagna (fire worship ritual) which was being performed by her father Dakshmaharaj. Angry with this incident Shiva started the Tandava Nritya (Dance of Destruction). In order to prevent destruction of all creation, Lord Vishnu used his Sudershan charka (wheel) to cut the body of Sati into several parts. Sati's body was scattered all over what is presently the Indian subcontinent. There are 51 such holy spots where temples have been erected and they are called Pithas or the Soti Pithas. Some of the Pithas are in West Bengal. The most popular of them are Kalighat (in Kolkata}, Bakreshwar. The Name Tarapith Originated Because Of Eye Ball(Tara) Of Sati Fell Here.⠀ ⠀ It is believed that the eyeball of Sati fell down at Tarapith. In Bengali, the eye ball is called 'Tara' and that is why the name of the village was changed from the earlier Chandipur to Tarapith.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Rest in comments 👇 ⠀ ⠀ 📸 DM for credits⠀ ⠀ Feel 🆓 to share and bookmark 🔖 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #TarapithTemple #templearchitecture #templelife #tantriktemple #westbengaltourism #westbengaldiaries #reclaimtemples #swipeleft #westbengal #jaimaatara #tarapith #westbengalpictures #Birbhum #Bamakhepa (at Mahapith Tarapith- মহাপীঠ তারাপীঠ- महापीठ तारापीठ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHf3bFglIUh/?igshid=qhojl2nvzgch
