Kankalitala is a temple town in Bolpur subdivision of Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal. 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.

Babu Kishan's Grandfather and Guru Nabani Das Khyappa Baul aka the one and only KHYAPPA BAUL, he was well known as Avadhuta of this area where he did his sadhana.

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?
