Mayapur, Religious neighborhood in Bamanpukur, India.

Mayapur stands at the meeting point of the Jalangi and Bhagirathi rivers, creating a central destination for religious activities in West Bengal.

The area transformed from Miyapur, a Muslim fishing settlement, into a major spiritual center through the establishment of multiple religious organizations.

The Yogapith temple, built in the 1880s, features a distinctive pyramidal dome and marks the birthplace of religious figure Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Visitors can reach Mayapur via a 130-kilometer journey from Kolkata, using either road transportation or taking a train to nearby Nabadwip Dham station.

The annual Parikrama ritual involves devotees walking through nine islands of Nabadwip for seven days during the Gaur Purnima Festival.

Location: Nabadwip community development block

GPS coordinates: 23.42500,88.39083
