Ekachakra is a small village, located 20 km away from the town of Rampurhat in the Birbhum District of West Bengal.

[2] It is also famous as the birthplace of Nityananda Rama[1] (b 1474 CE), a principal religious figure in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.

When Bhishma satisfied him with many beautiful prayers, Krishna lost his anger and tossed aside the chariot wheel chakram.

[citation needed] In the Janmasthan Mandir there is a deity of Nitai (Nityananda) worshipped by a local brahmin family.

The side altar has deities of Radha-Radhakanta and Radha-Srikanta, a large dancing Gouranga in the center, and ten brass sakhis at the bottom.

It is named Hantugada because Nityananda Prabhu used to perform the Cida-dahi festival of distributing chipped rice with yogurt prasadam here and He would take the prasada while kneeling down.

[citation needed] The current deity within the Bankima Raya temple was found by Nityananda himself, within the Yamuna river of Ekachakra.

The site can be easily reached using various modes of transportation: The closest railway station is Rampurhat Junction, situated roughly 20 km from Ekchakra Dham.

Rampurhat has good rail connectivity with major cities in West Bengal and other parts of India.

Similarly, those coming from North Bengal can use NBSTC or private buses to Rampurhat and continue their journey via local transport to the destination.
