Story of Aparna Shaktipeeth Bangladesh
A legend says that once a conch-bangles dealer was passing by a pond in a jungle near the temple of Ma Bhabani. At that time, a little girl with a tip of vermilion on her forehead came to him and told him that she was the daughter of Natore’s palace. She bought a pair of conch-bangles from the dealer and requested him to collect the price of that bangles from the Queen of Natore kept at a specified place of the palace.
Hearing all this from the dealer, the Queen rushed to the spot with him and her men. On the earnest prayer of the conch-dealer, Ma Bhabani raised from that pond showing Her two wrists with the conch-bangles worn. At this incident, this holy “Shakha-Pukur” (conch-bangles pond) became famous and the devotees take their sacred bath in this pond when they come here.

We had hired a Tata Hexa in the second week of January and were lucky to be the first passengers to hire the vehicle. A Brand new vehicle. Not much to say. We did a trip to Babadham and the West Bengal Shaktipeeth and then to Puri. Driver Dhruv was extremely cordial and polite. A five star experience.
