* Jayanti Kali Temple: There are disputes about the position of this peetha. Based on most
presented manuscripts and facts it is situated in Bangladesh. However, some people [17] argues
the actual peetha is at Amta in West Bengal, where the Devi is worshiped as Maa Melai
Chandi in Melai Chandi Mandir. But this fact can not be corroborated with any evidences.
Moreover, refuting most text, in Melai Chandi Mandir the Bhairava is Durgeshwar rather
than Kramadishwar. Some also relates Jayanti Devi with the Mahakal cave temple situated in the
village Jayanti of Alipurduar [18][19], where many status were created
by Stalagmite and Stalactite (combination of limes with water), but strong historical support is
also absent here.
