Good place for meditation. Peaceful atmosphere. It is called as ashram of Tota Puri, the spiritual teacher of Ramkrishna Dev. To go here you can take auto.. Gupta Vrindavan is also in the same route.

Totapuri Baba is also known as Nanga Baba, Nangtababa, Nagababa, Languli Baba, Digambar Baba, Kankaria Baba etc.He was born likely in Hinglaj now in Baluchistan, Pakistan. He was a Parivrajaka or a wandering monk, who followed the path of the of Advaita Vedanta . It is said that Totapuri taught Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa that the sole reality of the impersonal Absolute could only be realized in a state of consciousness devoid of all conceptual forms. He also had initiated Shri Ramakrishna in the higher technique of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. To Shri Ramakrishna, Totapuri was “a teacher of masculine strength, a sterner mien, a gnarled physique, and a virile voice”, and addressed him affectionately as Nyangta, the “Naked One”, because as a renunciate he did not wear anything. This is the place where he lived the last 40 years of his life. He attained Mahasamadhi in August 1961. He was a saint of highest order and had mastery over all forms of Sadhana. There is a banyan tree inside the ashram where he would spend a lot of time engrossed in meditation. It is an ideal place for spiritual seekers to engage themselves in meditation and contemplation.
