An old temple--through Doctor's Microscope!

Doctor Anukul Goswami, an Orthopedic & spine surgeon in UK, never forgets his root in India. He is from the famous Goswami family at Debhog and always remembers the glorious past of his family.

This photograph of the temple was taken by Dr.Goswami in a different angle.When he returns to India, breaths with the loving memory of the place and its people, though he is in fear of the unplanned destruction .....

Does he want to mean something new which is still covered with ignorance?

Radha Govinda Temple at Debhog

This temple is situated at Debhog. It is only because of the Goswami family , this temple is in its full glory even today.

Down the memory lane.....

Radha-Govinda image from the temple of Goswami family at Debhog. There are so many stories related to this temple.....yet to come.

View of the river Haldi

Only the river knows why people called it "Huldee".

In the official documents of British period, the spelling for this river was written as "Huldee".

Some people say , its water is yellowish and this is the reason of its name.

Oh, Gokul - you have made the mistake!!

Ultimately Gokul Refoil demolished the oldest temple for the sake of their plant.
It's a shame to us that we can not save our heritage place. It could have been transformed to a tourist -spot for the visitors at Haldia, but we simply forget it and allowed to demolish the spot.

Bihu at Haldia : Place no bar!!

Where is "Tupi Ghar"?

This is located at Nayachar and the only brick-made building in this island..Local fisher men call it "TupiGhar" because of its "dome" like shape.
This is the Office of WB Govt (dept.of Fisheries).
