Bengalis of an older generation would remember a celebrated film (of the
late 50s or early 60s I think), with Uttam Kumar and Sabitri, called "Maru
Tirtha Hinglaj". A hit song from that film was "Koto dur, aar koto dur, bolo
Ma". There is a Mahanirban Math in south Calcutta, and the swami who founded
that, I think his name was Nityananda, had been a bhakta at Hinglaj. If I am
not wrong, one of the parts of Kali is supposed to have landed there. Is /
was a centre of tantra, like Kamakhya.
