Kalpavriksha Dham, also known as Shree Krishnapuri Kalpavriksha Dham, and Shree Krishnapuri Thakurbadi, is a Hindu monastery in Bihar, India.
Geography
[edit]The monastery stands on the east bank of the Batane River at Kishunpur village, in the Kutumba administrative block of Aurangabad district.[2] It lies at the eastern edge of Kishunpur, close to the neighbouring village of Parta, and is therefore also known as Shree Kalpavriksha Dham, Parta.[3]
History
[edit]According to Dasharath Das Naga, the chief priest of the temples, Munshi Shyam Das of the Bengali Estate made a vow beneath the Kalpavriksha tree. After the wish was fulfilled, the estate built a temple dedicated to Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, about 90 years before 2024.[4]
The name of former abbot before Dasharath Das Naga is Nagendra Dash. One previous abbot was Hareram Brahamchari. He is noted for his diet cow dung as food.[5]
Temples
[edit]The monastery is named after the Kalpavriksha tree, which draws most of its visitors. The site also contains older temples to Sita, Rama and Lakshmana, Radha Krishna, Shiva and Durga.[2]
Events
[edit]The Suthania Mela, a local fair, is held annually on Kartik Purnima, the full moon day of the Hindu month of Kartik[2]. The fair is also known as Kishunpur mela.[6]
The Kalpavriksha Mahotsav, a three-day cultural festival, takes place during the fair; religious music, local classical dance, prayers and a communal feast are its main components.[7]
