Abandoned Treasures

Came across this ancient Shiva Temple while driving through a remote Village named Tungur in Pingla, West Midnapore last afternoon. Tried to ask a few locals about its history however they didn't seem to know much about it except to exclaim that it is centuries old. Keep wondering how many such structures that are mute testimonies to our history and culture, lie in such abandoned state in our country, beyond recognition ... situated amidst dense woods with crickets blasting out even in broad daylight, the structure attracted me greatly. #pingla #westmidnapore #tungur #westbengaltourismphotography
