A VISIT TO THE LORD SHIVA'S ABODE

The spiritual ambience is the main attraction here. People from all walks of life visit this place to offer their prayers for fulfilment of their wishes.. The mandir premises need more cleanliness although the work on this front is going on in full swing.

Tarakeshwar shiva

The highly benevolent Lord , he is known to grant wishes . The sanctum is totally dark , but his presence is felt . Highly crowded but it's worth all the pain and wait . Can be covered when going from Kolkata to jairambati .
