Tarapith Maha Sasan is a convenient location close to the Tarapith Temple. It's well-known for the Tantric practices that take place here. Goddess Tara, a fearsome Tantric aspect of Adhya-Shakti, appears here as a twinkling of light, like a "Star" (Tara in Hindi's meaning Sanskrit, Bengali, and other languages). The Third Eye of "Sati" had fallen here. It is remembered as one of "Sati's" 52 Peeths (places where parts of her dead body had fallen), a location with many spiritual and extraordinary forces.
