Tarapith Temple

Tarapith is a major Shakti Peeth and a potent center for Tantric Hinduism. The temple is dedicated to the fierce goddess Tara, a form of Kali. It is believed that the third eye of Sati fell here.

The adjoining cremation ground is an integral part of the worship, attracting Tantric practitioners. The temple town has an intense spiritual energy and is a significant pilgrimage site.
