Where is Panihati?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Panihati is located on the banks of the Ganges, ten miles north of Kolkata. It is the site of many wonderful spiritual pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His close associates. In this region during June, it is so hot, often up in the mid-to-high 40 degree C. The most cooling of foods in such a temperature is yogurt (dahi). This pastime is about how the devotees pleased Lord Chaitanya and how He reciprocated with them in a pleasing festival called - Panihati Chida-dahi mahotsav.
