The Tarkulha Devi Temple is a famous Hindu temple.

Tarkulaha Devi was the Ishta Devi of freedom fighter Senani Babu Bandhu Singh.

On the eve of Chaitra Ramnavmi a large fair is organized here every year.

There is a memorial built to honour Amar Shaheed Babu Bandhu Singh.
Tarkulha Devi Temple is one of the major attractions near Chauri Chaura.(located around 5 km from Chauri Chaura)

The temple has been historically associated with the great freedom fighter Shaheed Babu Bandhu Singh who was born in a Kshatriya Zamindar family of Dumari Riyasat.
He used to fight British with Gurilla war technique.

There is a saying that he used to sacrifice heads of enemies(British) in the Tarkulha Devi Temple.

Finally he was arrested by British and hanged publicly at Ali Nagar Chauraha in Gorakhpur on 12th August 1857.
People say that the hangman failed 7 times to hang him due to rope breaking every time by the grace of Tarkulha Devi.

It was successful only at 8th time when Bandhu Singh prayed Mata Tarkulha Devi & said "हे माता अब मुझे मुक्ति दो " ।
It's really sad that history of such a great freedom fighter is not mentioned anywhere in the books of Struggle of independence , or any such book.
We really need to work on it , they have given their lives for our freedom , & their history has been erased ! It's really shameful.
