ॐ नमः शिवाय 🔱 || Ambika Kalna 108 New Kailash Temple || Kalna's current name is Ambika Kalna. Kalna is mentioned in the Mangalkavya as "Amba Muluk". On the banks of the river Bhagirathi, Amba was a significant river port of that era. Kalna and Amba are shown as two separate places in a map made by Mr. Rennell in the seventeenth century. This place became more famous after the arrival of Mahaprabhu in later times; The name is Ambikanagar. The 108 Shiva Temple, also known as Nab Kailash Temple, was built in 1609 by King Tejchandra of Burdwan. It is said that this temple was built to celebrate the transfer and ownership of royal property in Bishnupur. There are 108 Atchala temples in two concentric circles, 34 in inner circle and 64 in outer circle. This temple may have been built with the 108 Rudrakshas of Japmala in mind (ref: researcher Yajneshwar Chowdhury). Of the 64 temples in the outer circle, one is white and one is black, and all the 34 temples in the inner circle have white Shivlings. That is, a total of 61 white and 36 black Shivlings. According to researchers, white is a symbol of abandonment and black is a symbol of enjoyment. Hence the establishment of white and black Shivlings to evoke consciousness or knowledge from two opposite senses. There are two doors in each circle of this temple. One to the north of the first circle, one to the south. In the inner circle one is east, the other is west. No more than four Shivlings can be seen from any place in the temple. The Gauripattas above the Shivling face north. As the circle rotates, the direction of Gauripatta also faces north. More than 200 years old, these temples are built in an extraordinary geometric environment, which is truly amazing.
