Details

Details: According to the scripture, Jaya Kapil was expelled by the conspiracy of his proud and mighty elder brother,   Basudev. He established an hermitage in the coastal area of the Sundarbans. The place is now known as Kapilmuni. It is located on the bank of the Kapatakh. Kapil  became a monk and established a figure/statue of Kali  here. It was known as Kapileshwari Kali. Kapil was a great monk of the Mahabharat period. The place where he used to meditate was considered as his hermitage. With the evolution of civilization, his hermitage was pointed at the brick pile on the bank of Kapatash. But due to the river erosion, the mark of that hermitage was  on the verge of extinction. Finding no mark  Binod  Bihari Sadhu established a temple near it.
