Nalhati

Nalhati is a town , in Birbhum-Murshidabad of West Bengal.

Nalhati is one among the 51 Shakti Peeths. It is believed that Parvati's throat (Nal) fell here, when Vishnu severed her body, with chakra, to stop Shiva from the Tandav nritya. That is why the name Nalateshwari is used as a synnonym for the Peeth.

Get in

It is about 15km to the north of Rampurhat. Those travelling along the Panagarh-Moregram state highway, will come across the town of Nalhati just after crossing the Brahmani river.
