    The temple is designed resembling the Rudrakshya necklace consisting of 108 beads. The temples were in a crumbling stage until it was rebuilt by the Birla Jana Kalyan Trust in 1965. There is an entry fee of INR 2. There is ample car parking space for 10 cars and bikes. Parking charge for car is INR 20. There is a pond in the middle of the premises. There is peace and tranquility in the premises which is visually marred by boys and girls taking selfies.

    Awesome place on Earth 🌎 🤩🤩🥰🥰 It's too good for an day outing & the ambiance of this place is too pleasing to give you a reverent feeling from your inner heart. You must be amazed by seeing this 108 shiv temples at one place side by side. I'm just mind-blown by this awesome place view seen first time in my lifetime. The mandir premises also has a very beautiful flower garden where many variants of roses are there which is best topping on the crown of this place.

    Its near Nababhat bus stand. If u decide to pay a visit, dont worry, your time will be spent in one of the most peaceful way. There is a good security system(with some moral policing also). The 1 st temple is where u can give your offerings, other temples are not that decorated but well maintained by akondo garland and flowers. Large pond keeps the environment cool. Maintainance is good also. Those identical 108 temples will please u from within and u can always keep talking Lord Shiva what u have in ur mind.. Because u and lord both will be very relaxed there.

    A very peaceful religious place. There are hundred and eight temples of Lord Shiva surrounding a big tank. The place is neat and clean and shorn of rustle and bustle usually associated with such places. Once again I reiterate that the place is neat and clean with clean toilets and arrangement of drinking water for the devotees. The main deity is made up of silver covered with snake made up of silver. One may pay visit to this place , on the way to Durgapur as it is very close to the national highway.

    The temple town of Ambika Kalna, in Purba Bardhman houses a spectacular complex of 108 Shiva Temple Complex. The only other 108 Shiva Temple complex is also located in Purba Bardhaman district and is housed in Bardhaman Town. The one in Bardhaman town is located in the Nababhat area and are arranged in a rectangular format. The 108 Siva Temple complex of Nababhat in Bardhaman Town was constructed in 1788 by Maharani Bishnu Kumari Devi wife of Tilak Chandra Bahadur of Bardhaman royal family. The temples were in a crumbling stage until it was restored (or rather rebuilt) by the Birla Jana Kalyan Trust in 1965. Presently the temple complex is under the 108 Shiv Mandir Trust Board, who have taken the initiative of construction a guest house for devotees visiting the temple. In 2013 a fund from the West Bengal Tourism Department lead to a construction of a parking lot in front of the temple complex. The funds were also used for the beautification of the complex along with construction of picnic spot next to the complex. If you want to visit this place place go for it, it's a must visit place. Beside the entry gate they have a vehicle parking place where the parking fees also very less, for traveler vehicle 100 rupi, for car only 20 rupi and for bike only 10 rupi. Even there is a place for taking rest and also they arrange a food cafeteria where the food price is cheap. Even they have paid and non paid washroom for traveler. One shop also for shopping. Lovely place 💞

    ॐ नमः शिवाय 🔱 || Ambika Kalna 108 New Kailash Temple || Kalna's current name is Ambika Kalna. Kalna is mentioned in the Mangalkavya as "Amba Muluk". On the banks of the river Bhagirathi, Amba was a significant river port of that era. Kalna and Amba are shown as two separate places in a map made by Mr. Rennell in the seventeenth century. This place became more famous after the arrival of Mahaprabhu in later times; The name is Ambikanagar. The 108 Shiva Temple, also known as Nab Kailash Temple, was built in 1609 by King Tejchandra of Burdwan. It is said that this temple was built to celebrate the transfer and ownership of royal property in Bishnupur. There are 108 Atchala temples in two concentric circles, 34 in inner circle and 64 in outer circle. This temple may have been built with the 108 Rudrakshas of Japmala in mind (ref: researcher Yajneshwar Chowdhury). Of the 64 temples in the outer circle, one is white and one is black, and all the 34 temples in the inner circle have white Shivlings. That is, a total of 61 white and 36 black Shivlings. According to researchers, white is a symbol of abandonment and black is a symbol of enjoyment. Hence the establishment of white and black Shivlings to evoke consciousness or knowledge from two opposite senses. There are two doors in each circle of this temple. One to the north of the first circle, one to the south. In the inner circle one is east, the other is west. No more than four Shivlings can be seen from any place in the temple. The Gauripattas above the Shivling face north. As the circle rotates, the direction of Gauripatta also faces north. More than 200 years old, these temples are built in an extraordinary geometric environment, which is truly amazing.

    This place is situated at a distance of almost 2 hours from Howrah Railway Station if you travel in a local train and almost 1.5 hours if you take a express train. This place is very good and peaceful if you should only visit it during monsoon or winter as the place gets extremely hot during summer. The entry fee for the temple is Rs 15 per head. The place is clean and well maintained from outside, but inside 108 small temple, it is not much well maintained. (Shivling ke upar keede makore chal rahe the). Their is also a cafe just adjacent to the temple, from where you can have various types of food and charges are very nominal. You get particular spot for keeping the shoes. You also get washroom facility, can't comment on cleanliness in case for Ladies Washroom, but for men, it is more than enough.

The outer arc has alternate Shiva temples that have black and white Shiv linga respectively. The inner arc temples all have white Shiva linga. The temple is also known as Navaratna. In the remote past, the temples were taken care of by 12 priests and they used to worship the Shivalingas every day. The walls of temples have inscriptions of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The temple is well maintained by the authorities here. The place is colorful too with green lawns in the temple premise itself. The gardens have various vibrant colored flowers.

    The temple was established in 1788 by Maharani Bishan Kumari Devi, the widow of Raja Tilakchand after receiving dreams of constructing the temple of Lord Shiva in the area of Burdwan Raj Pariwar. The temple is designed resembling the Rudrakshya necklace consisting of 108 beads. The temples were in a crumbling stage until it was rebuilt by the Birla Jana Kalyan Trust in 1965. There are a pond in middle. There is a good parking place for cars and bikes. This is a very beautiful place.

    It is number 1 temples of Brdhaman, because There is no need to fall into the cycle of any kind of broker.Besides, no money will be required to enter this temple, now if anyone wants to donate, they can do so. So I would recommend to visit Shiv Tagore at least once at the end of the week. Thank you 🙂💝

    A must go area if you're looking for 108 shivlings. Cafe is available outside. No entry tickets are there. If you wish then you can keep your shoe in the ticket system shoe rack, just outside the mandir. Also 2 types of toilets are available, one free and one pay and use. I'll suggest using the paid one. Wheelchair accessible area.
