The greatness of this Mahapeeth of Kshirgram in East Burdwan is not limited to stories. It is mixed in the blood and sweat of people. It is said that Sati's right toe fell here. The goddess here is Mokshadayini, the mother of the entire world.
Mahatmya Sati's annual puja of Maa Yogadya in Ksheergram continues to be one of the traditions of Bahanna Peetha. Here the idol of the goddess does not stay permanently in the sanctum sanctorum. Most of the year he resides in the abyss of Kshirdighi. Mother breaks water only six days a year and climbs the Danga. But devotees get a visual glimpse of the goddess on only two dates—the morning of Vaishakh Sankranti and the fourth day of Jaishtha. Before Baisakhi Mahapuja, the Ramayana reading and Mahiravan Badh Pala ceremony for three days create an atmosphere of devotion throughout the village.
According to the scriptures, the main part of the puja is the offering of Annakoot or Mahamaya prasad on this special tithi of the goddess. After the buffalo sacrifice, the goddess takes only pure food. In this Annakoot offering, every particle of the offering must be pure and perfect. According to the traditional tradition of Kheergram, mother's bhog is made with white rice prepared from the best paddy. And the only reliable hope for this ultimate purity is Lalbaba Rice.

The quality and whiteness of the rice from which Mahamaya's offerings are made must be all-round pure. Every grain of Lalbaba rice in the Annabhoga of the Goddess is blooming, white and fragrant. The integrity of rice is a symbol of devotee's devotion. The tradition and modern processing of Lalbaba Rice ensures that no impurity can enter the offering. Keeping the traditional customs of Kshirgram, Lalbaba Rice Juri Mela Var to spread the goddess!
Founded by Ramachandra himself after the killing of Mahiravana in the Treta Yuga, Lalbaba Rice is still the devotee's first choice for making offerings in worship of the Shakti. Lalbaba Chaal has brought a touch of devotion and perfection to the amalgamation of devotional heart and classical purity. Lalbaba rice has become another name of trust in offering food in the form of Mahamaya of Ma Yogadya!
