High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Tarakeswar affair (also known as the Tarakeswar scandal or the Mohant-Elokeshi affair) refers to the public scandal in 19th century Calcutta (Kolkata) —then the capital of the British Raj —resulting from the affair of the beautiful Elokeshi, wife of Nobin Chandra (Nobinchandra/Nabinchandra/Nobin Chandra) Banerjee, with the mahant (mohant) —the Brahmin head priest —of Tarakeswar (Tarakeshwar) Shiva temple. The affair led to the decapitation of Elokeshi by her husband Nobin, followed by a "well-publicized" trial of the Tarakeswar murder case of 1873, in which both the husband and the mahant were found guilty in varying degrees. The scandal became a popular subject of numerous Bengali plays as well as Kalighat paintings in that era.
