Notes from our sources

Why do practitioners flock to Tarapith specifically on this day?
All spiritual practitioners across West Bengal, Bangladesh, and the northeastern regions inevitably visit Tarapith on the Amavasya of Bhadrapada month to perform Sadhana at the Mahashmashan, awaken esoteric disciplines, and seek Bhagavati Mahavidya Tara's direct darshan — despite this not being Tara Jayanti, it holds immense importance in Tantric Sadhana.
Who is Akshobhya Bhairava, and what is his significance in Tantra?
Akshobhya Bhairava is the consort/Bhairava associated with Devi Tara Mahavidya, representing the unshakeable, undisturbed aspect of Lord Shiva — prominent shrines exist at Tarapith (Rampurhat), the Tibet/China border, and in Bihar.
