ধন্যবাদ @BidurC দাদা এত সুন্দর একটি পোস্ট করার জন্য। পশ্চিমবঙ্গের এই ঐতিহাসিক জায়গা সম্পর্কে শুনেছিলাম আগে। আপনার পোস্ট এর মাধ্যমে পুরো জায়গাটি সম্পর্কে ধারণা তৈরী হলো। অনবদ্য আপনার লেখনী ও ছবি গুলো। শেষ পাতে ৩৬০ ডিগ্রি ছবিগুলো যেন চেরি অন দ্য কেক।
এভাবেই নতুন জিনিস শেখা ও জানার অপেক্ষায় রইলাম আপনার থেকে।
ভালো থাকবেন দাদা।

এর মধ্যে একটা মন্দির দেখার সৌভাগ্য হয়েছে। পরেরবার গেলে বাকি গুলো দেখবো।
