Abstract

The article Finding a Birthplace by Varuni Bhatia documents Bhaktivinoda’s rediscovery of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s birthplace in Mayapur. Through devotional mapping, textual research, and colonial cartography, Bhaktivinoda helped re-anchor Gauḍīya Vaishnavism’s sacred geography, reviving its spiritual legitimacy and pilgrimage identity.
