Ratnavali remains a disputed location

The source material used for this directory mentions both a Hooghly-area association and a southern coastal identification for Ratnavali. These alternatives cannot responsibly be turned into one precise address.

The image is a street view from Khanakul in the Hooghly region. It gives context for one association, but it does not identify a Ratnavali sanctum. A shrine-specific source is needed before selecting one location as the basis of a visitor guide.

Names recorded in the tradition

These are devotional associations, not archaeological findings. Lists and local identifications can differ.
