PHULHER |
|
|
| Vishwamitra,
the guru of Rama, commemorated by a temple of Rama and Sita at Besaul, which lies about
four miles from Phulher village. It is said that Besaul was the place where Vishwamitra
Muni. Had his ashram and Rama and Lakshmana were his disciples at this ashram. The Girija
temple of Phulher, although in an inaccessible place, deserves a special mention as it has
a fine legend behind it. This temple, situated at Phulher village about 40 miles
north-west of Darbhanga railway station of the North-Eastern Railway, has an ancient,
sweet and ennobling halo around it. The communi- cation to the temple is very poor. There
is a metalled road from Darbhaga toBenipatti and then an unmetalled road of the District
Board leads up to Hisar, which is 8 miles from Benipatti. Hisar is not accessible by any
road during the rainy season.
From Hisar to Phulher-a distance of 3 miles-there is merely
a footpath through the fields, which is negotiable only by foot or by cycle. Another
approach is through the Phulher-Ilarlakhi road, which passes through the north side of the
temple and that also is unmetalled. |
