Travel Tips Of Kankali Temple

Darbhanga, Bihar, India:
The Kankali Temple (or Kankali Maa Mandir) is an ancient and highly revered Hindu temple located within the massive fortified walls of the Darbhanga Fort (Ram Bagh Fort). It holds a significant place in the Shakta tradition, associated with the worship of the Goddess Kali or Durga, often in her fier ce form as Kankali. The temple has a deep connection to the history of the Darbhanga Raj. The current temple structure was built, or more accurately, reconstructed to its present, grand form by Maharaja Kameshwar Singh after the original was severely damaged in the devastating 1934 earthquake. Legend holds that the idol of Maa Kankali was found in the Yamuna River near Delhi by Mahamohopadhyay Mahesh Thakur, the founder of the Khandwala dynasty, in 1557, and was initially installed at his native village of Bhour. The idol was later moved to the Ram Bagh site, and the temple built around it. A unique and noteworthy aspect of this temple is the tradition of worshipping a fragmented or broken idol, which defies the common Hindu practice of not worshipping broken images. The temple is famous for following the Tantric system of worship, attracting various sadhaks (spiritual practitioners) and devotees, especially during the two major Navaratri periods. While it was historically a private temple of the royal family, it is now open to the public, though its operational control and maintenance are still managed by the descendants of the Darbhanga Raj.:

Tourism Tips

Health & safety: Remove your shoes outside the temple premises. Be respectful of the Tantric traditions and any rituals you may observe. The temple area can be very crowded during festivals; watch your belongings closely. Carry water, especially when queuing.

Packing: Dress in modest, respectful attire suitable for a place of worship. A camera can be used for the exterior architecture only. Be prepared for long wait times during Navaratri.

Accommodation: Stay in the central areas of Darbhanga, near Tower Chowk or the station, for easy access to the fort complex and local transport.

Other Tips: If you are sensitive to strong ritual practices or large crowds, avoid visiting during the peak Navaratri days. Always ask the priest for permission if you have a specific request or ritual in mind.:
