SATI MAYER BARI - Kalyani

A great Hindu Temple and well-known place. U can come every day to visit.

Sati's mother's house is located in Ghosh para area of Kalyani. Pilgrims come here throughout the year. There are arrangements for fans to come here, but you have to book in advance. There is a tomb of Sati mother here, so the place is very sacred. During Dol Purnima, a huge fair is held here which is also called Sati Mother's Fair. The fair was inaugurated by Sati Mata, the wife of Ramcharan Pale, a disciple of Aul Chand, the founder of the Kartabhaja community. Sati Maa is very awake here. She will give you whatever you want. There is a pond here named Himsagar and there are many miracles in it. There is a pomegranate tree where you can build a rock to satisfy your cravings. Sati's mother's father's house is Kalyani Rathtola, so the Dol utsab starts first in Rathtola and then in this fair. Lots of fans gather during this fair, lots of shops sit on both sides of the road. The fair starts on Dol Purnima and lasts for 10 days???

I am very pleased after traveling the mela that was centred around sati ma, who is one of the central figure of karta-bhaja group. Sati Mayer Bari now has a religious importance, lots of person came here for their religious zeal. Lots of shops of like jalebi, fuchka, ghugni, tea, music instruments were there, merry go round, dead will attracted many persons. I am very happy, advising others please visit only once.you will really amazed.

Aulchand, founder of this community was also known as Aule Mahaprabhu, Kangali Mahaprabhu, Fakir Thakur, Siddha Purush, Sain Gosain and Purnachandra amongst his followers. Most of the legends on Satyamahaprabhu Aulchand or Aulechand are collected by Horace Hayman Wilson and Akshay Kumar Datta. According to these legends, in 1616 Saka era (1694), Mahadab Barui, a peasant of Ula village found Aulchand, an eight-year boy in his betel vine and decided to adopt him. After 12 years Aulchand left Ula and stayed in the house of a gandhabanik (perfumer) for two years. Next, he resided in the house of a landlord for 14 years. Next one and half year he lived somewhere in eastern Bengal and then started travelling from one place to another. At the age of 37, he came to Bejra village and Hatu Ghosh became his disciple. Soon, Ramsharan Pal also became his disciple. Besides Ramsharan Pal and Hatu Ghosh, his principal disciples included Bechu Ghosh, Nayan Das, Laksmhikanta, Nityananda Das, Khelaram Udasin, Krishnadas, Hari Ghosh, Kanai Ghosh, Shankar, Nitai Ghosh, Anandaram, Manohar Das, Bishnu Das, Kinu, Gobinda, Shyam Kansari, Bhimray Rajput, Panchu Ruidas, Sidhiram Ghosh and Shishuram. He died in Boyale village (in the present day Nadia district) in 1691 Saka era (1769). In addition to his 22 principal disciples, Aulchand had a number of followers, both Hindu and Muslim. The disciples of Aulchand believed him as the reincarnation of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. After Aulchand's death, his followers were divided into two major groups. His principal eight disciples under the leadership of Ramsharan Pal established a center for religious activities at Ghoshpara. The other group founded their center at Parari village near Chakdaha and cremated Aulchand's body there. The leadership of the group led by Ramsharan Pal became hereditary after his death and his descendants were mentioned as the Shriyut or the Shrishriyut. The sectarian literature of this community mention the Gurus (leaders) as the Mahashayas (hosts) and the common members as the Baratis (guests).
