| The Four Kumaras, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, & Sanat Kumara |
Lord Sivas favourite tree was the Bilva and once some Brahmanas pleased him by worshipping the Bilva (Bael) tree for two weeks. One of these Brahmanas was Nimbaditya, Siva told him to go to the sacred Bilva forest to see the four Kumaras and accept them as his Gurus. The four brothers gave him the Radha Krishna mantra and instructed him how to worship Radha Krishna with love. Nimbaditya then stayed at this sacred place and worshiped accordingly.

| Sankaracharya |
Sankarpura is the place where Lord Chaitanya told Sankarachraya to leave Navadvipa. Sankaracarya was within his heart, a topmost Vaishnava, but he pretended to be a Mayavadi, a servant of Maya, he was in fact an incarnation of Lord Siva. Whilst engaged in this pretense, he came to Navadwip. Gauracahndra appeared to him in a dream, telling him that although he was his dear servant following orders, the mayavadi doctrine had no place in Navadwip and he must leave so as not to be a bad influence on the inhabitants of Navadwip Dhama.

| Lord Chaitanya Accepting Sannyas from Kesava Bharati |
Nidaya Ghata is where Lord Chaitanya crossed The River Ganga to go to Katwa & receive sannyasa from Kesava Bharati. Nidaya means "without mercy" and the Ghata is called this, because his family named it thus, being so heart broken at his leaving them. However his taking Sannyas was not without mercy, it was in fact in order to bestow the greatest mercy of Krishna Prema upon all living entities.
