[[File:Fullara 1.JPG|thumb|left|Fullara temple]]

According to the [[Hindu mythology]], when [[Shiva|Mahadeva]] danced around with [[Dakshayani|Sati's]] dead body cutting it to pieces, the lower lip fell at Fullara. There is a big pond beside the temple. According to hearsay, [[Hanuman]] collected 108 [[Nymphaea nouchali|blue lotuses]] from the pond when [[Rama|Sri Ramachandra]] required them for the worship of goddess [[Durga]].<ref name="Fullara">{{cite web|url=http://www.seemyindia.com/west-bengal/west-bengal-fullara.htm |title=Fullara |access-date=2007-08-16 |publisher=seemyindia |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070806072338/http://seemyindia.com/west-bengal/west-bengal-fullara.htm |archive-date=2007-08-06 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It is considered to be one of the fifty-one [[Shakti Peethas|shakti peethas]] in India.<ref name = "Government">{{cite web | url = http://birbhum.gov.in/birtour2.htm | title = Labhpur| access-date = 2007-08-24 | publisher = Birbhum District administration}}</ref>
