Rankini Temple




Rankini Temple, also known as Kapadgadhi Ghat, is located in a dense forest at Rhoinibera near Ghatshila in East Singhbhum District, Jharkhand.

It is believed that, in ancient times, here existed human sacrifices, and the goddess herself killed the victims. In those days, the priest mainly hailed from the Bhumij caste.

An annual fair named Binda Mela held in this temple is a major draw.
