Fullara is a temple-town near Labhpur in Birbhum-Murshidabad in India.

According to mythology, when Mahadeva danced around with Sati’s dead body cutting it to pieces, the lip fell at Fullara. The old temple has been destroyed and a new temple has been built. Only some broken pillars of the old temple remain. There is a big pond beside the temple. According to hearsay, Hanuman collected 108 blue lotuses from the pond when Sri Ramachandra required them for the worship of goddess Durga. It is considered to be one of the fifty-one shakti peethas in India.
