In another faith healing site in India, Rajasthan’s Balaji Temple, visitors deprive themselves of sleep, eat tasteless or bitter food, restrain themselves in chains, hit their bodies against the walls or move their head in repeated, circular motion for long periods of time to heal. Just as the Balaji Temple in Rajasthan draws thousands seeking relief from afflictions, the Nischintapur Kabibabar Mandir (which roughly translates to “worry-free poet’s temple”) in Pujali, a small town in India’s eastern state of West Bengal, offers its own unique healing to those in distress.
