Tarapith, Hindu temple in Rampurhat, India

The Tarapith temple features thick red brick walls and houses a black stone idol of Goddess Tara with two manifestations inside its sanctum.

The temple gained prominence in the 15th century when the saint Bamakhepa established it as a center for spiritual practices and divine worship.

Devotees participate in ceremonies at Tarapith by offering silk saris, coconuts, bananas, and performing rituals at the sacred Jivita Kunda tank.

Visitors can reach Tarapith via Rampurhat railway station, located 10 kilometers away, with connections to major cities like Kolkata and Howrah.

The adjacent cremation grounds along Dwarka River serve as meditation spaces for Tantric practitioners seeking connection with divine energies.
