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 .....
