Where Sati's toes fell. At Kshirgram in Purba Bardhaman district, the goddess Yugadya is worshipped. Belongs to the Rarh region's dense Shakta cluster and reflects the medieval Bengali Mangalkavya tradition, which centred on Devi worship and shaped much of the region's vernacular religious literature.
