Kankali Tala Santineketan Birbhum Bengal.
Shakti Peeth.
This is where Maa's skelton fell to earth.
The people of this place remember Babu Kishan's aka Krishnendu Das Bauls (Guru) and Grandfather Nabani Das Khyapa Baul or Noboni Das Baul, he was a constant Baul Avadhut here and brought alot of Shakti to this temple.
The villagers know Nabani as Khyapa Baba the one and only Khyapa Baul. He would bring his grandson Babu Kishan her all the time when he was little and he has been to this temple throughout his life. It seems to have gained some popularity over the past few years with the younger generation through social media.

It is one of the Shakti Peethas where the waist (or kankal in Bengali) of Parvati fell which is at present the Kankalitala town. Goddess Parvati is the residing deity of the Kankalitala Temple.
Such is the prominence of this Temple that it forms a part of the most important Hindu-pilgrimage circuit of India.

Nabani Das Baul (Khyapa Baul) is the Baul who inspired Rabindranath Tagore giving him the name Robi (Ravi) Baul and Tagore gave Nabani the name 'Khyapa Baul' & 'Mirror of the Sky".
There is no other Khyepa Khyapa Baul it is an insult to Nabani Das Baul (who was a Baul Saint) to call yourself Khyepa Baul?
