Jodopur :- It is situated 8 km north of Gopalganj. There are fourteen small mounds marking the spot where the wife of Basant Sahi, with her 13 handmaids immolated herself holding the head of her deceased husband in her lap. Fateh Sahi had killed his cousin Basant Sahi for helping the East India Company in getting information about the movements of the latter that was his cousin and had been an outlaw. The members of the Hathwa family still perform worship at the mounds, which may be attributed to the late 18th century, though the fort ruins may be of an earlier date. A big banyan tree in the jungle to the east of the ruined fort at Hussepur still marks the site of her death, and there are fourteen small mounds of earth under the tree held sacred to the memory of sati.

THAWE BLOCK
Thawe :- A village situated 6 km south of Gopalganj and 10 km north of Hathwa. In the village there are remains of an old fort but the history of the fort is obscure. The King of Hathwa had a palace there but it is now in decadent state. Close by the residence of the Hathwa Raj there is an old temple dedicated to Goddess Durga “Maa Thawewali”. It comes under 52 “Shakti Peeth” of Ma Durga located all over India. According to the legends, Maa has arrived here from his another holy place Kamrup, Assam where she well known as “Maa Kamakhya”, on the prayer of her great devotee “Shree Rahshu Bhagat”. This holy story pertains to about 14th century AD. King ‘Manan Singh’ from ‘Chero’ dynasty was ruler of ‘Hathua’. Once there was a great famine in the state of Hathuwa. People started to die due to hunger. But the king continued to levy tax even in that miserable condition. Poor people did pray to ‘Maa Kamakhya’ for relief. To relieve her devotees from their grief and pain, Maa Kamakhya appeared in midnight while sitting on seven lions and told to Rahashu Bhagat to cut ‘Katara’ (grass) and to worship her in midnight. Rahashu Bhagat used to cut ‘Katara’ (grass) whole day and yielded it in midnight. Thus he got ‘Manasara’ (a type of holy Rice). Every morning Rahashu Bhagat distributed the Manasara among poor people. Rahashu Bhagat became very famous because he had relieved the poor people from their hunger.When the king came to know about all these developments, he became very angry and called Rahashu Bhagat and insulted him. The king ordered Rahashu Bhagat to call Maa Kamakhya to prove his true devotion. Rahashu Bhagat requested the king not to do so and suggested the King to pray the Maa with an honest heart but the king insisted to call Maa and threatened Rahashu Bhagat to kill in case of disobedience. At last, helpless Rahashu Bhagat started to pray Maa Kamakhya to call her. On the call from her true devotee, Maa Kamakhya started her journey sitting on seven lions from Kamrupa (Assam) where she is called as ‘Kamakhya Devi’ to Thawe. Rahashu Bhagat again requested the King to drop his insistence but the king did not agree and forced Rahashu Bhagat to call Maa. Meanwhile Maa appeared in Vindhyachal for sometime and was called Maa ‘Vindhyavasini Devi’. In her way to Thawe Maa reached Kalighat in Calcutta and was called Maa ‘Kalka Devi’. Rahashu Bhagat again requested king to quit his wish and warned him for mass destruction but the king was not agreed. In her way to Thawe Maa stayed at Patna for a while and was called ‘Patan Devi’. Then Maa appeared in ‘Aami’ and ‘Ghodaghat’ was called ‘Ambika Bhawani’ and ‘Ghod Devi’ respectively.When Maa reached ‘Thawe’ the weather and appearance of the place began to change. Due to hundreds of thunders King’s palace fell and destroyed. Everyone was feared. The devotees of Maa started to pray her to save them as they had known that Maa had reached Thawe. After sometime, Maa appeared through broken head of Rahashu Bhagat and showed her right hand wearing a ‘Kanagan’ (Bracelet). The four handed Maa appeared sitting on the seven lions and blessed her devotees. On the pray from her true devotees, Maa made the things normal and disappeared.Rahashu Bhagat got ‘Moksha’ (heaven). The king, his palace and all his empire came to end. The remnants of the palace may be seen even today around the temple of Maa at Thawe.The devotee of Maa built a temple where Maa appeared. They also built a ‘Rahashu-Temple’ where Rahashu Bhagat used to pray Maa. It is said that after ‘Darshan’ of Maa Thawewali, Darshan of Rahashu-Temple is mandatory to please Maa. Maa also known as “Singhasini Devi”. Within the enclosure of the temple there is a peculiar tree, the botanical family of which has not yet been identified. The tree has grown up like the cross. Various legends are prevalent in connection with the idol and the tree. Food for jackals is still offered in the nearby jungle.

Dighwa-Dubauli:- This village is situated , 56 kms north of Chapra and 40 kms south east of Gopalganj. It is an ancient site and two extraordinary pyramidal-shaped mounds were found here. These two mounds are situated close to the southeast of the village, and east and west of each other. Each of these mounds is of a pyramidal shape, with four corners at the base projecting considerably outwards, so that a ground plan of one of these mounds would resemble a fore pointed star surmounted centrically by a cone. These mounds appeared to be formed of clay, but mixed with small fragments of brick and pottery. At the distance of 950 feet to the south of the eastern mound, there is a round-shaped mound of moderate height, with a horizontal diameter of about 200 feet from north to south, and about 140 feet from east to west. There is an old well here. Across the road to the north of the village there is a portion of the mound, which appears as if cut off by the road from the large flat mound, on which the village Dighwa Dubauli itself stands. These mounds are said to have been the works of Chero-Chai, i.e., of the Cheros, an aboriginal race who seem to have once been powerful in this part of the country.

KUCHAIKOTE BLOCK
Shri Pitambara Peeth (Bagalamukhi ):-It is situated at Kuchaikote,about 15 Kms from Gopalganj at NH-28; Near Anand Petrol Pump;. It is one of the most famous Shakti Peetha of Bagalamukhi. It is established by Maharishi Shree Shivabanda Paramhans in the Mach, 2007. Bagalamukhi is one of the ten mahavidyas (great wisdom). Bagalamukhi Devi bangs the devotee’s misconceptions and delusions with a bludgeon. The name literally means `crane-faced `. The name `Bagla` is a distortion of the original Sanskrit root `Valga`. She is golden complexioned and her cloth is yellow. She sits in a golden throne in the midst of an ocean of nectar full of yellow lotuses. A crescent moon adorns her head. The goddess is described in two different ways in various texts- the `Dwi-BhujA` (two handed), and the `ChaturbhujA` (four handed). The Dwi-BhujA depiction is the more familiar and is described as the `soumya` pr milder form. She is shown holding a club in her right hand and with which she beats the demon, while pulling his tongue out with her left hand. This image is sometimes represented as an exposition of `sthambhana`, the power to stun or paralyze one’s enemy to silence. This is precisely one of the boons for which Bagalamukhi’s devotees worship her.
