This episode describes the historical and spiritual significance of the Shyamrupa Temple located within the dense Garh Jungle of West Bengal. Regarded as a foundational site for Durga Puja, the area is linked to ancient rulers like King Surath and King Lakshman Sen, as well as the legendary Medhas Muni. The texts highlight the temple's transition from a place of tantric rituals and human sacrifice to a site of peaceful devotion after the intervention of the poet Jayadeva.

This sacred location serves as both a revolutionary hideout from the past and a modern pilgrimage destination that preserves centuries-old traditions.
