While at Tarapith for a conference, my wife and I with friends availed the opportunity of visiting the famous Maa Tara Temple which attracts thousands of pilgrims daily. This temple is said to fulfill the wishes of pilgrims and many visit it again and again.

It's a mahashatipeeth adjacent to mahasmashan in Birbhoom District near city / Ralway station of Rampurhat in state of west Bengal in India. The place is famous for it's tantrik rituals and worship of Maa Kali/ Tara. The main priest was Late sri Bamdeo whose temple is within this temple coplex said to be have direct darshan of Maa. Currently there is heavy rush and wish it could be managed better. Any ways Aastha and Vishwas is above all logics. Joy maa Tara...

Place gives goosebumps as you find yourself in such a religious and historically relevant place . Yes It has touts , filth , beggars , animal sacrifice , yet its religious sanctity is unquestionable. There is an aura of supreme energy in the premises . ( subject to religious belief)

We visited on 5th December 2020. There are many small temples around Maa Tara Temple, but crowd is for Maa Tara Temple. I stayed in hotel yashodha international, which is quite far from temple. We took a toto to reach temple. We had an agent from hotel who took us to the temple. He took us to a shop near the temple where We took 101 ruppes Tokri which had flowers, Prasad and cosmetic toiletries for maa tara. The shop was asking us to take a 100 ruppes flower garland which we did not buy. The agent got us a pandit who took us to the queue. There was some crowd, but we decided to take the free queue. It took about 30 min in the queue to visit the Maa Tara statue. The pandit allowed us to touch the statue. He did a small puja and mantra chanting while we were in the queue and reaching near the statue. After the puja, we paid 201 ruppes to him, which he gladly accepted.
P.S.: Buy separate pedas for puja and for taking it to home town. Normally, most of prasadam pedas contain lot of sugar.

Maa Tara happens to be another form of Hindu Goddess Maa Kali. The temple & the Goddess Maa Tara represent the source of Shakti - power.
Considered as one of the most revered Hindu shrines it is indeed a super religious place located beside a burning ghat.
Maintained well - devotees are managed in quite an orderly fashion. Crowd soars on Tuesdays & Saturdays - but rest of the five days in the week are generally much less.

Being a very revered Shaktipeeth, money plays its part here.
The approach lane to the temple is lined with shops run by the priests of the temple who sell all the items needed for puja. Also, apart from the general queue, there is a VIP queue, they charge Rs. 500 each (you must bargain) which gets your to the sanctum sanctorum a lot quicker.
Photography of the idol is prohibited but if you request your priest in advance, he will get you few extra minutes to click.

I want to visit the temple and the funeral grounds.
Temple:
The fees mentioned by somebody above, are they mandatory for visitors? I.e do they make a distinction between tourists and worshippers?
If so are there "guides" who want to take money from you for a "tour"? I've seen such in the Kali Ma temple in Kalkutta.
Funeral grounds:
I heard that visitors especially women are not welcome there. What's the real situation? And are the tantrics still there? If so do they get aggressive if one wants to see the place?
Any other advice ?
Many thanks !!

There is no discrimination between tourists and worshippers. A visit to the temple is totally free but you need to stand in a long queue say about 2-3 hours. Pandas out there can make the darshan fast in return they charge a nominal fee of about Rs250 to Rs 500 depending on your urgency to visit the Temple.
There is no restrictions for females entering funeral ground. Tantriks are still there but try not to mess with them.
Thanks

Even just born child is safe in Tarapeeth. Every one is safe in-front of "Tara Maa"s" Temple. Try to meet some one old Panda because every other panda has to respect the old one. Just I tell, you if possible go to temple bare foot and kept all your shoes at Hotel or where you were staying. If possible, your group also can visit House of Bamdev.

Early morning is there but timing you have to find out. There are hotels that are safe. We had stayed in Hotel Sonar Bangla which is the best & quite close to the temple. It is neat & clean, safe & staff is courteous.

Mr. Bidhan Chatterjee - +919734491465/+919434584552. He will charge you around ₹200. But you need to pay special entry fee if you want to gain entry by the vip gate @200 per person. This can be paid through him.
