Field Visits

Srikhanda Chittaranjan Pathmandir Library, Bardhaman, West Bengal

Śrīkhaṇḍa in Bardhamāna is the Śrīpāṭa of Śrīla Narahari Sarkāra Ṭhākura. The BRC team met the elderly descendant of Sarkāra Ṭhākura there, who encouraged BRC’s preservation work across India. The team visited all the temples in Śrīkhaṇḍa and met with Uttam Sengupta, the librarian of Śrīkhaṇḍa Cittarañjana Paṭhamandira Library.

The library, though relatively new, has a substantial collection of manuscripts. BRC not only digitized the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava manuscripts there, but also deciphered all the manuscripts and labeled the bundles. Over two days, the team digitized over fifty manuscripts.
