Naulakha Mandir History and Timings in Deoghar Jharkhand

In Deoghar, Naulakha Mandir is one of my favourite destinations and offers some of the most spectacular sights. This Mandir is 1 ½ km from the Baba Baidyanath temple and 12 kilometres from Jasidih station.

Naulakha Mandir in Deoghar, Jharkhand

Rani Charushila Devi built the Noulakha temple. She was the queen of Pathuriya Ghat in Jorabagan, Kolkata, and became a widow at an early age. After this, she accepted Balananda Brahmachari’s discipleship.

History of Naulakha Mandir Deoghar

The temple is like the Ramakrishna temple in Belur. The Radha-Krishna, Gopal, and Swami Balananda Brahmachari idols are inside the marble temple.

Charushila Devi’s sculpture, made of white marble, is situated at the entrance of the Mandir. Rani Charushila Devi spent 9 lakh rupees to build this temple in 1940. Hence, the temple’s name is Naulakha Mandir. The Naulakha temple is 146 feet high.

She belonged to the royal family of Paturia Ghat in Kolkata. Unfortunately, her husband, Akshay Ghosh, and son, Jitendra Chandra Ghosh, died. She became detached from her family. She came to Karnibad in Deoghar and stayed at Balananda Brahmachari’s ashram.

Charushila Devi established the temple in his direction. After a few months, Sri Kali Das Ram, a renowned engineer from West Bengal, became a disciple of Swami Balananda Brahmachari. Charushila Devi gave him the responsibility of temple-making.

The area is large, and you can stay inside the temple as you wish. However, it is a popular sightseeing destination in Deoghar.

Please Note:

• Photography and Videography are not allowed inside the temple.
• There is no entry fee.
