Tarapith - The Land of TaraMata - Tarapith

Tarapith is the holy place named after Hindu Goddess 'MAA TARA'. 'TARA' means Goddess 'TARA' and 'PITH' means living place. The place is easily accessible through bus or train or car. There are many hotels out side the temple so don't worry about stay. There is long line of devotees so better is to complete 'Puja' by paying extra three hundred rs. to avoid long que. Near by 'Bama Khepa' Ashram is also a destination for devotees.

We go for worship in any holy place like mandir masjid or church guru dwara but the panda or the purohit makes its business. If you belive in this puja than must visit ghaguri maa er mandir at asansol. I born and brought up at birbhum very close to tarapith but these kind of business worship I never support where your puja and prasad depends on your money. shame on you.....

One of the most devoted place in India of maa Tara good temple nice appearance but it is one of the most devoted place and there is one attestation that maa Tara will make ur all wishes fullfilled.but one thing commitee are dacoits they don't make people worship goddess maa Tara without money so I request them to not make this type of partialities for devoties. Overall one of the best holy place

Very good and charming place to view but the roads are very congested . Various types of hotels are there from 300 to 3012 AC and non AC rooms are available but be aware of the local, Pandas. the temple place is nice and clean . new construction are going on over there to improve the area.and there are three or four types of line with normal and VIP as well the overall most feared is very good and sacred and blissful as well.

Joy Maa Tara ?,Tarapith is also famous for Bamakhepa known as the 'mad saint', who is worshipped in the temple. He resided in the cremation grounds as a mendicant and practiced and perfected Yoga and the Tantric art under the guardianship of another famous saint known as the Kailashpathi Baba.Very good and charming place to view but the roads are very congested .

Tārāpīṭh is a Hindu temple town in 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

Its fundamental to visit and meet her twice in a year, many a times more. Whats soothing and unique is the blissfulness in meeting her, the peace and poisness, the relief of heaviness and feel of light heartedness makes a human be at its highest state of happiness. Kali is regarded as one of the principal deities of Bengal. Kali is a powerful and complex goddess with multiple forms. The Divine can be manifested in many different forms, with various roles and personalities. The Tara temple in Tarapith steeped in the narrated myths is a medium-sized temple in the rural precincts of Bengal. Its fame as a pilgrimage centre with the deity of Tara enshrined in it is due to "the temple’s founding myths, its type of worship, the hymns sung there, the powers of the nearby tank, and the inhabitants and rituals of the adjacent cremation ground" The devotees take a holy bath at the sacred tank adjacent to the temple before entering the temple premises to offer worship and even after the worship. The waters of the tank are said to have healing powers and even restore life to the dead. Tarapith is also famous for Sadhak Bamakhepa, known as the avadhuta or "mad saint", who worshipped in the temple. Vashistha had seen this form and worshipped the goddess Sati in the form of Tara. Another legend narrates: Shiva had drunk the poison that had emerged by the churning of the cosmic oceans, to save the universe. To relieve the intense burning in his throat, Sati, "in the form of Tara" breast fed Shiva to relieve him of the effect of poison in his throat. Another local narration is that Vasishtha chose this place for the worship of Sati as it was already known as a Tarapith. Among piths, Tarapith is a siddha pith, which grants enlightenment, wisdom, happiness and siddhis ("supernatural powers").

It is the holy place. Here every day many people come with their wishes. that's why it is the crowded place ever known. I am going to tarapith for puja purpose. if you want give puja then you must go and visit early morning for better view and smaller crowd. There's a River name 'Dwaroka nod' which is flowing toward north. Isn't amazing?
