Attahas Temple (Phullara), Labpur

Attahas is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, located near Labpur in Birbhum district. Sati's lower lip (Adhoshtham) fell here, and the goddess is known as Phullara ("the Blooming One") or simply Phulla — the name evoking flowers, blossoming, and radiant beauty. The name Attahas itself means "loud laughter" in Sanskrit — recalling Sati's joyous divine laughter or, in some accounts, the cosmic laughter of the goddess. The presiding Bhairava is Vishvesh ("Lord of the Universe"). Birbhum district is one of the spiritually richest areas of Bengal, home to Tarapith, Shantiniketan, and multiple Shakti sites.
