    Har Har Mahadev. The place of worship. Pilgrims visit the Taraknath Temple throughout the year, especially on Mondays. Thousands of pilgrims visit Tarakeswar on the occasions of Shravani Mela, on the month of July–August (Srabon in Bengali calendar) and Gajan. Taraknath Temple is a famous Hindu shrine located in the town of Tarakeswar in Hooghly district of West Bengal, India. The temple enshrines a Shayambhu linga of Lord Shiva. The temple is believed to be constructed in 1729 AD by Raja Bharamalla. Taraknath Mandir was built in an ‘Atchala’ structure of Bengal temple architecture with a ‘natmandir’ in front. The temple features four roofs above the sanctum and extended galleries for the congregation of the devotees. Dudhpukur pond, located north of the temple, is believed to fulfill the prayers of those taking a dip in it. The temple is also claimed to be one of the Jyothirlinga shrines of Mahadev.

    One of the most important station in Hooghly district ..easily connected with Howrah and Arambag station..this station remain crowded all the time for the presence of the famous Tarakeshwar Temple..but the number of train are not enough to cope up with this huge passenger pressure..need more cleanliness..

    Tarakeswar railway station is located in Hooghly District of the Indian State of West Bengal.Baba Taraknath Temple,dedicated to Hindu God Shiva,a major pilgrimage spot is just 1 km away from the said Station.It is one of the busy railway station of Eastern Railway.As this is under Sunderban area, the station area becomes overcrowded at morning (train to Howrah)and evening (train from Howrah). My request to tourist please avoid both time to make your journey safe.
