Saurath :-

This is a road side village on Madhubani-Jaynagar road  about six Kilometers north east of Madhubani town and contains a temple known as Somnath Mahadev. There is an interesting story which links Saurath to Somnath Temple In Dwarka, Gujarat. According to folk tradition, in AD 1025, Mahmud of Ghazni attacked the famous temple of Somnath, looted the fabulous wealth of the temple, and destroyed it completely. It is believed that Lord Somnath appeared in the dream of the two Maithil Brahman brothers, Bhagirathdutta Sharma and Gangadutta Sharma, and asked them to take His lingam away. The two brothers, following God’s instruction, went to Dwarka and brought the lingam to Saurath and kept the lingam in hiding for a long time. Later the lingam was duly enshrined. Somnath temple at Dwarka is situated in a region known as Saurashtra. In the 18th century a Maithil king constructed here the temple of Somnath. This story is mentioned in the introductory chapter of the official District Gazetteer of Darbhanga 1964, by Roy Choudhary.

It owes its importance to the annual Sabha held by Maithili Brahmins for negotiating marriages .The people gathered at Saurath Sabha Gachhi ( orchard ), covering 22 bighas of land that was donated by the Maharaja of Darbhanga, in the Hindu calendar months of Jyestha-Ashadha. Usually it is held for seven to 15 days every year or sometimes twice in a year during the auspicious period (months). This was an important social congregation where the marriages of Maithil boys and girls are fixed up according to the reading of horoscope by the Panjikars . Many Panjikars who keep the genealogical records of the different families reside here and outside. Mithila King Harisinghdeva (1310–1324) introduced Panji Prabandh in Maithila. This applied to Brahimins and Kayasthas. This was considered a major social reform at that time and was enforced through royal patronage and supervision. The Maharaja of Mithila once again sanctioned this idea and accordingly 14 villages were identified to hold such sabhas: Saurath, Khamgadi, Partapur, Sheohar, Govindpur, Fattepur, Sajhaul, Sukhasaina, Akhrarhi, Hemnagar, Balua, Baruali, Samsaul, and Sahsaula. While Saurath maintains the tradition, all other villages have discontinued holding such Sabha.

Shri Shri 1108 Ekadash Rudra Mahadeva temple (Mangrauni):-In 17th century a great astrologer and tantrik was born in mithila, whose name was Pundit Madan Mohan Upadhyay. During the period in question the ruler of Madhubani was Kharore Raja. It’s capital was village Bhaura near Madhubani. Pundit Madan Mohan Upadhyay visited Raj durbar whenever Raja required his services. One day when he was sitting in the King’s court, the king said that today is Amavasya (New Moon). All the pundits of the durbar agreed, But Pundit Upadhyay was thinking about something else, and when the king asked the same question to him he replied with a NO and said it was a full moon night, all the pundits and the king laughed at this answer and asked if he can prove this. Pundit Ji replied affirmatively “Yes Sir!”. When pundit ji reached home he realized that he is wrong as it is Amavasya today. He went to his own temple and prayed to the Goddess, it is said that the goddess, enlightened the sky through her kangana (Bangle) in the sky became so bright that the original moon light was disappeared in the light of Kangana and it gave the look of Full moon Night. From Then onwards the king never laughed on any answer of Pundit ji again.Pundit Madan Mohan Upadhyay who was the first famous man of mangroni was by instinct a great Tantrik and it was said that he used to go to kamrup kamakhya every morning by sky route and come back by afternoon. It was his daily routine. One day his younger son also went to kamakhya with him but some yogini of kamakhya saw the young and smart boy and fell in one sided love with him. It was the time of dussehra (durga puja). Pandit upadhyaya as usual went to worship the Goddess, in the meantime yogini starting to suck his son out by evil mantras. His son was surprised and told his father that some external forces were throwing him outside the temple .
Pandit ji instructed his son to catch the idol of the Goddess, but the young boy said again that even the goddess’s idol was being pulled outside the temple. the pandit ji laughed and said that you forget the idol and catch my leg. When the young boy caught his father’s leg every thing started coming into order. It is said that the Goddess said to the pundit ji that he need not personally come to kamakhya again and even your family members were not required to see me here. She asked Pundit Ji to go to Mangrauni and get a pond dug there in your campus at mangrauni. She assured that she will appear in the shape of yantra from the pond. She asked him to perform the Pooja of the yantra everyday. pandit ji came back to mangroni and instructed to dig a pound as the Goddess said. Goddess appeared in the shape of yantra in the pond and pundit ji started worshipping the goddess every day. Now a days this mandir is known as Budhi maa Durga Asthan in Mangrauni.

Uchaith :-Village is located about 45 km north-west of Darbhanga railway station. There is a modern ancient temple of Durga on the western bank of river Tumne. Local legends widely prevalent in Mithila associate Kalidasa, the immortal poet in the court of ancient Ujjain, with Uchaitha during his early years as a student.This conduct of his enraged them and they made a complaint to their Guru that Kalidasa, who was considered to be a very dull student,disturbed them in their studies. The Guru called him and asked as to why he was misbehaving. Kalidasa promptly replied in an unusual way that he could not tolerate the wrong pronunciation of his class fellows.The, Guru, to his utter surprise, found that the boys had erred in their pronunciation and that Kalidasa was fully justified in pointing out their mistakes.He asked Kalidasa about this sudden development of great intellect in him. Kalidasa narrated the story of the previous night when he had the privilege of meeting the goddess Durga, who had appeared before him and gave him the blessing of wonderful learning. For this very divine achievement the place is called Siddha Pitha of Kalidasa.

There is a slight variation to the story. Some say that the goddess Kali who was visited at midnight blessed Kalidasa. It is said that no one could dare to visit the temple of Kali at midnight, as he would be dead by such a visit. The boys at the pathshala wanted to test the courage of Kalidasa and asked him to visit the temple at midnight. Kalidasa did this and the goddess, being pleased with his courage, blessed him that lie would be a great scholar.It may be mentioned here that Durga and Kali are the manifestations of Mahasakti. Kalidasa ultimately became the court poet of Vikramaditya who was known as Chandra Gupta II.

The temple faces the east. It has a round dome. The temple is on the edge of a tank.The temple appears to be a recent structure. At the entrance to the temple there is a verandah . Above this there is a room for the goddess Durga which is about 8 feet by 10 feet.There is also an image of the goddess Durga in black stone about 2 feet high. A lotus flower can be seen on the back of a lion and tile goddess is sitting on it.There is Brahma on the left and Moon on the right side. There is an image, 6 inches high, of the goddess Kali, on the left side of the goddess Durga. All the four arms of the goddess Durga are cut off and the head is missing. The image is said to have been desecrated. Some small images of Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Lakshmi and Hanuman are on the right side of the goddess Durga. They are of black stone.

It is said that the late Maharajadhiraja Sir Rameshwar Singh of Darbhanga had expressed his desire to reinstate the head of the image. Accordingly, an order was placed and the head was carved out. Before the installation of the head he had a dream in which the goddess told him, ”I am the creator and you want to create my head. Do you think it is proper for you to create my head.”The Maharajadhiraja was upset. The Mahantha of Uchaitha temple had also the same dream. At last it was decided that the head should not be installed.The priests of the temple took the head from the Maharajadhiraja and kept it near the image to offer it the usual offerings. The stone head is still lying in the temple precincts.

A few years ago, the tank was cleaned and a number of images were found. All of them were removed to the Patna Museum.

In front of the temple of the goddess Durga there is newly constructed a temple of Lord Shiva. There is also a small temple of Bhairava in the rear side of the Shiva temple. Just below these temples flows the river Kamla.

On the other side of the river, towards the south-east of the temple, is the site of what is believed to be the Pathshala of Kalidasa. In local dialect and survey records it is mentioned as Kaildasko Chaupdi i.e., the college of Kalidasa. Chaupdi is derived from the Sanskrit word Chatushpathi i.e., where the four Vedas are read and taught.

It is an elevated piece of ground measuring about one bigha in area.So far as the architecture is concerned, the temple is reconstructed in the Indo-Aryan style. There is a square cella for the image. It is curvilinear and there is no trace of storeys and the massive circular coping stone i.e., amalaka, on which the kalasa has been put, surmounts it.
