Charak Mela from Kharagpur 2015

From last few days weather became pleasant after rainfall. Temperature was not too high. Cloudy weather with stream make the area really wonderful. In this season charak mela was organised in different area of town as well as near village of kharagpur. Let’s started with Jhareswar mandir in Malancha area. This temple was one of the oldest temple in town and charak mela organised from long time ago. From last few years the temple ground shrink due to continue development of building multi-storeyed homes and flats in surrounding areas.

Some of pictures in this post was showing how much pain peoples bear in this festival. This was a village festival so this was organised only in some places and in village near to kharagpur. Mela was not big as like other mela in kharagpur but main attraction was not mela, here main attraction was stunt performed by local for their god.
