== Etymology ==
Tridhara Milan mandir often referred as ''Second Vrindavan'' and is situated at [[Panchmura]] under [[Taldangra]] police station in [[Bankura district|Bankura]]. The temple derived its name from of the close relationship of love and devotion of the devotees with [[Krishna]] & [[Radha]] in this temple. Particularly, the term "Tridhara" originated from the fact that the temple is a melting pot and sangam for the three principle sects of beliefs of [[Hinduism]] - [[Shaivism]] ([[Shiva]]), [[Vaishnavism]] ([[Radha Krishna]]) and [[Shaktism]] ([[Kali]]).<ref name="ie">{{cite web |url= https://bengali.indianexpress.com/lifestyle/second-vrindaban-is-now-in-west-bengal-537644/ |title=আর উত্তরপ্রদেশে ছুটতে হবে না, বাংলাতেই গড়ে উঠেছে দ্বিতীয় বৃন্দাবন |work= [[Indian Express]] |access-date= 26 June 2024 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20240626072216/https://bengali.indianexpress.com/lifestyle/second-vrindaban-is-now-in-west-bengal-537644/ |archive-date=26 June 2024 |language=bn}}</ref>
