SaraShankha, Dantan, West Midnapore, West Bengal, India

KALYAN KUMAR MAHATA The true appellation of Apu.

SaraShanka, the huge aqua tank or reservoir, is a famous name in Indian history. The Pandava Ghat describing in the Mahabharata is related to the SaraShankha. The greatest watercress with an ecosystem in biodiversity and environment is one of the largest and oldest formation of water ponds in the planet. This is called 'SaraShankha Pushkarini or Dighi or Pokhar or Gadiya or Tala' in many local languages. During the mid - January every year the Sankranti or Makar Sankranti Mela, the SaraShankha Fair is held where a big crowd congregate. SaraShankha is a sanctum. The christian, buddhist, hindu, muslim, jain, persi, naturist, shikh, tao or dao, shinto believe the place a naive regarding religious prosperity. The Sankhawar, the people belong to sankhawar gotra or clan, avestan and svatesvatara regarded Sarashankha one of the holiest destinations in the world. The holy bath water tank reminds 'the city lost into water' - the Mahata civilization of Kharbela or Khadwal in Mahad or Magad dynasty. The connectivity to the great pond - 1. Dantan Railway Station in South Eastern Railway and 2. National Highway 60. I take pictures on 23rd January, 2014. Camera : SONY DSC-WX200.
