The Kankalitala Temple, located near Bolpur, Shantiniketan, is a must-visit destination as one of the Shaktipeeths. A temple has been constructed beside a pond in reverence to Parvati Devi, marked by a photo rather than an idol. While the temple surroundings are clean and tranquil, there's a need to maintain the cleanliness of the pond. Additionally, you have the option to purchase puja items outside the temple. The temple is situated on the banks of the Kopai River.
The famous Sonajhuri Haat : an open-air market previously held every weekend but now open daily, attracts local artisans and small traders showcasing exquisite handicrafts and accessories that are bound to captivate fortunate visitors. This market offers a rich shopping experience, where you can find everything from clothing to ornaments, food items to furniture. I recommend visiting the market early in the daytime, as the area lacks street lighting. Don't forget to bargain before making any purchases.
