There were two young men involved in Bhakti movement during the medieval period. One was Gouranga of Nabadwip and another was Nityananda Mahaprabhu of this Rarh region. Nityananda Mahaprabhu was born on 12th Janury, 1473 at Birchandrapur. It is believed that in the initial episode of Mahabharata, Kunti, along with her Pandavas, used to stay here. It is one of the holy Vaishnab Dham and the Nityananda temple, popularly known as “Nitai Bari”, is the pilgrimage place of Vaishab devotees.
