Paschim Medinipur district or West Midnapore district is among one of the biggest districts of West Bengal. It was formed on January 1, 2002 after the Partition of Midnapore into Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur. Medinipur district is much enriched in its archaeology. Pre-historic features of this region can be proved from its Stone Age evidences, which are collected from the river-beds of Subarnarekha, Kansavati and Tarapheni. Apart from rich history and architecture it is also famous for traditional Indian art which is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage name "Pattachitra".
Pathra: On the bank of the river Kangsabati, is a village of temples. There are 34 temples in the village, all over 200 years old.this nondescript hamlet is a treasure trove for those who like to travel back in time.The history of Pathra goes back to the Gupta age, when the place was the hinterland of Tamralipta port, a gateway to southeast Asia. From 8th Century to 12th Century, it was an important hub for Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. A majestic Vishnu Lokeshwar statue dug out in the village in October 1961 revealed both Hindu and Buddhist influences, indicating that practitioners of both religions frequented Pathra..
The turning point in the history of the village came in 1732, when Nawab Alivardi Khan appointed Bidyananda Ghoshal as the revenue collector of Ratnachawk pargana. Bidyananda established temple after temple in the village, making it a major draw for Hindu pilgrims. The nawab, however, was not too pleased with Bidyananda’s work. He was thrown into prison and then sentenced to death. Legend has it that the elephant that was to crush Bidyananda’s head refused to do so. The village reportedly gets its name from the incident.

My trip to #Singapore was beyond wonderful. It was made possible by Sri Balaji Tours and Travels! The best part post-covid the issuance of VISA was done so smoothly that too in a very short span of time. Most of the travel agencies including the top 10 of the best travel agencies in India denied me for the first week of April due to issues with my VISA. As I was traveling solo for my first international tour, the selection of hotel was done according to my need and convenience near the Buggis which had four MRT stations nearby. The Hotel IBIS Bencoolen had a complimentary breakfast with Indian cuisine too. A pick-up and drop facility from the airport was provided. Even the Sri Balaji Tours and Travels were kind enough to book the Flight Tickets with window seats in advance with Meals through their Corporate booking Coupons. All the bills were provided with GST. Professional behavior.

We wanted a completely customized trip to Leh and none of the tour operators met our demands until we met Sri Balaji Tours & Travels representatives. He had prepared a detailed itinerary to Leh, thereby making our tour memorable. Sri Balaji Tours & Travels had taken care of all the necessities like accommodation, comfort travel from one destination to the other, food, etc. We had requested further changes to the itinerary and it was done by our coordinator without any hassles. This gesture was very humble and we were very obliged by the same.
