Fullara at Labhpur in the district of Birbhum, West Bengal is one of the 51 Shakti Peeth or Sati Peeth according to Hindu mythology. Fullara means laughing in happiness. One of the lips of Devi Sati fell here. While Shiva was carrying her body on his back after her immolation on the spot of Yagna done by her father Prajapati Daksha, Lord Vishnu cut her body in several parts with his Sudarshan Chakra. These parts fell on several places creating Maha Peeth, where Devi Sati or Durga is believed to be present with all her power and awe. She is worshipped in these great Shakti Peeths together with Lord Shiva known as her Bhairava. There is another Shakti Peeth at Nirol village near Katwa, Bardhaman, known as Attahas where the other lip of Devi Sati fell. Attahas means a strong and loud laughter ( Atta is strong and loud, haas means laughter, this word attahas is always spelt together ). Here her Bhairabh is called Viswesh which means Lord of the entire world.
