Vibhasha and the Tamluk identification

This entry links the Vibhasha name with the Goddess tradition at Tamluk, commonly discussed under the Bargabhima name. Tamluk is the place to keep in view when comparing the Peetha name with a modern temple listing.

The Peetha association, the history of the town and the age of the present temple are separate questions. This short record does not supply a construction date without evidence. The photograph credit is a starting point for checking the depicted structure, not an archaeological source.
