This post has extension of my last two post,temples from kharagpur. In our town there are lots of temple so it can't be possible to cover all that in one post.
One more was nandeshwar temple which was in malancha was one of the oldest temple in town .I was showing old picture of this temple before independence when there was no home near the temple but now this temple totally changed.It was believed that this temple was built 1634.

One more old temple in town was Khaler Bonpatna. It was believed that this was made before 500 years ago .This ram temple had gold idol when constructed but that was stolen two times so metal idol placed later on. Most part of this temple ruined due to lack of maintenance,you can get more information of this temple in my previous post : A 500 year old temple from Khaler Bonpatna.

In this blog, I saw two black & white photos (Nandeshwar temple in malancha Kharagpur during 1940). Will you please tell me, from where you got those old photographs of 1940??? Actually I am doing some research on it, I shall be grateful to you for this favour. My contact number is 8051034448 and my email is rajeev.iit.78@gmail.com
