Bells & bells- Kotwa Dham, Barabanki.

Sant Kavi Jagjivan Das (or Jagiwan Das, 1727 Sardaha, Chas - 1761) is the founder of the Satnami denomination of Hinduism in Upper India.

 

Das was born on the banks of the Ghaghra River at the village of Sardaha. However, he made Kotwa his spiritual and literary birthplace and meditorium. He founded the Satnaami sect, popularly known as Kotwa Dham, 6 km southeast of Kotwa in Badosarai.

 

A bell hangs at the gate of many Hindu temples, which is rung at the moment one enters the temple.
