Shaktipeeth Shri Jogadya Temple Kshirgram,West Bengal

Kshirgram(also written as Khirogram) is a village in Mongalkote CD block in Katwa subdivision of Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Khirogram is a satipith and is famous for its Yogadya and Shiva temples.

It is said that a piece of the large toe of the right leg of Sati fell at Kshirgram and it is considered one of the fifty one shakti peethas. At Kshirgram the goddess is known as Yogadya. The temple of Kshireswar is a little away from Kshirdighi.

The goddess Yogadya is worshipped at Kshirgram on Vaisakha sankranti and a big fair is organised. It is said that earlier there was no idol of the goddess at Kshirgram but both the puja and the fair were there. The goddess in an ugra-chandi form appeared in a dream to Haridutta, the king of Kshirgram and he got a stone image of the ten-armed Singhabahini goddess made and established it. The goddess is worshipped by the Ugra Kshatriyas in places other than Kshirgram, a day earlier.

When the idol of goddess Yogadya was once found broken, Nabin Bhaskar of Dainhat made an exact duplicate and the cost was borne by the Maharaja of Bardhaman.
