Bhabanipur Shaktipeeth Temple

There are two main temple festivals that happen in a year. Ramnavami or Deepanvita is a large fair (mela) that is conducted in the month of Chaitra and Maghi Poornima is observed when the full moon of the month of Magha bestows its silver light on devotees. There are yagnas, rounds of storytelling and special aratis that accompany these festivals. Devotees take a dip in the holy waters of Shankha Pukur: the legend of which we shall soon arrive at. Other festivals include Durgostav in October, Deepannita Shyama Puja and Nabanya in the Bengali month of Agrahayon.

There is a Pravati and Balya Bhog worship that is conducted early in the morning and then there is an Anna Bhog at noon. The evening witnesses an arati and a Sandhya Bhog. Devotees offer a bhog to the divine mother. Prasad is distributed after every bhog.
