Simantini Mandira

Simantini Mandira

 

       Goddess Parvati is worshiped as Simantini-devi. The exact location of mandira in Simuliya village is not known, but the Vaisnavas accept one place that they call Simantini Mandira. When you walk from Belpukur along the dirt road which joins the Mayapur road from Chowgacha to Hulor Ghat, you will come across a village called Sonadanga. In this village there is a small Shiva temple. All Parikrama parties stop here to discuss Simantini Devi. Although this is believed to be the place of Simantini, there is no temple or deity of her here.
