The Best Attractions In Dumka District

Temples of MALUTI (Dumka District - Jharkhand INDiA)

MALUTI

OVERVIEW:
Maluti is a small town near Shikaripara in Dumka District of Jharkhand, India. The place has 72 old temples. It was built under the Baj Basanta dynasty. The 72 temples are edifices to the kings of the Pala Dynasty. They portray various scenes from Hindu mythology including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The village came into limelight in fifteenth century as the capital of nankar raj (tax-free kingdom). The kingdom was awarded to one Basanta Roy of village Katigram by Sultan Alauddin Hussan Shah of Gaura (1495 - 1525). Son of a poor Brahmin Basanta managed to catch the pet hawk of the sultan and gave it back to the sultan. In lieu of the hawk (Baj), Basanta was given the kingdom. Hence, the king was called Raja Baj Basanta. The capital of Baj Basanta dynasty was in Damra. Later it was shifted to Maluti. The royal family was very pious.

How Maluti , the capital of Baj Basanta dynasty turn out to be a 'temple city' is also an interesting story. Instead of constructing palaces, the Rajas built temples. The dynasty was broken into parts (tarafs) but each taraf kept building temples, competing with the others. In the end, it turned out be a unique temple village.

Today, an important priority of the village Maluti is maintaining its 72 ancient temples. It is alleged that the king of Nankar state originally constructed 108 temples, but later generations could not maintain such a huge number of monuments, and most were left uncared for. With the passing of time, as many as 36 monuments deteriorated and finally crumbled completely.

HOW TO GO:
Although Maluti is located in Dumka District of Jharkhand but it is best approachable from Rampurhat or Tarapith town in Birbhum district of West Bengal. There are no regular buses or autos that ply to the village, hence one has to book a transport to visit the temples.
Ganadevata Express is the best option from Howrah to Rampurhat.

WHERE TO STAY:
There is only one Lodge at Maluti.
(2016 rates: AC Double bed Rs800, NON AC Double bed Rs500 and Single bed Rs250). Electricity is a problem. There are no decent eateries in the village. One has to order the Manager of the Lodge before coming.
The other option is to stay at Rampurhat or Tarapith town. It takes about an hour to reach Maluti from Rampurhat and 1hour 30min from Tarapith.
