Tarapith is a holy place for religious
Hindus. The small town is seated in the district of Birbhum in West Bengal. According
to mythology, eye ball (Tara) of Sati (wife of Shiva) fell here and thus; the
place has got its name ‘Tarapith’. However, according to some others, Tarapith
is sanctimonious due to the fact that sage Basistha worshipped Sati though in
the form of Goddess Tara. The town has a famous temple – which is the main draw
for the pilgrims – dedicated in the name of Goddess Tara (or Mother Kali) who
is another incarnation of Sati.
If you are a Hindu devotee, Tarapith is
a place where you must be at least once in your lifetime. People come here from
different walks of life. Over the years, more and more of pious travellers are
coming here to sink into an in-depth feel of spirituality. With passage of
time, hotel and hospitality industry has become more developed. The backpackers
now have more options to choose from when it comes to staying in a hotel
in Tarapith. There are resorts, luxury hotels and low-cost
accommodations to welcome the tourists.
Tourists come here from around the
Bengal and even from other states. The question is how they can book a hotel
here especially if the intending travellers live far away from Tarapith. Let us
find it out.
Gone are those days when travellers used
to book hotel after reaching the spot. Even a decade ago, the number of hotels was
a very few in Tarapith. But it must be remembered at that time, travellers were
also few in number. The situation is completely changed now. Travellers are now
pouring in a larger number and a holy spot like Tarapith is always crowded with
devotees. So advanced booking is a must to get a room that you like and can
afford easily. And hotel booking has become very easy these days.
Every hotel has a land phone number and
most of the hotels, resorts and other accommodations have their websites. So
you can be done with booking of a hotel in Tarapith by placing a
phone call on customer care desk or sending emails. In fact, the hotels now
encourage the visitors to do booking online. It is the most convenient way of
hotel booking. You just need to fill up an online form and submit it. You need
to specify everything related to what kind of facilities you want. Almost every
hotel has introduced customized facilities and gives the travellers complete
freedom to specify their own preference so that arrangement can be done
accordingly.
Unfortunately, there are a few hotels that demand insane charge for poor
quality of service. So before making a choice, you must be well aware of what
you will be paying for.
You
can ask your friends, relatives or neighbours about good Tarapith hotels if
they have visited the place off late. Make sure a hotel in Tarapith
you have chosen, matches exactly what you have asked for and no hidden charge is
included in the bill.
