Bhima Bhoi Field Center at Kandhara and Khaliapalli - Chitta - 06-11-2023
Following is an excerpt from https://tathya.in/bhima-bhoi-center-for-research/ .
Quote:To promote the chronology of the works and study the development of spiritual vision of Bhima Bhoi, the State Government has decided to set up Bhima Bhoi Field Center to be set up at Kandhara and Khaliapalli.
Department of Higher Education has also approved the project for establishment of the field center at Kandhara and Khaliapalli for studies and dissemination of ideas and teachings of Bhima Bhoi and Mahima Dharma.
... While Kandhara is known as the place of enlightenment for Bhima Bhoi, Khaliapali is known as Karma Bhumi or Sadhana Pitha.
... Khaliapali, is the village that became the epicentre of Mahima Dharma during the late 19th century from where the poet-philosopher composed the hundreds of verses and also propagated the religion.
Khaliapalli is near Baragarh and Kandhara is 19 km south of Redhakhol on Highway 153 B.
