I was not prepared to answer myself - when the question comes to me - why Bishnupur again. I was feeling drowsy in AC Chair Car compartment of Purulia Express; the ambience was really comfortable. It was Saturday evening. Nothing was planned; even nothing was decided whether the weekend we will spend at Kolkata or we will go for a short weekend trip. But today morning – when I was navigating to some old photo albums – suddenly it came to my mind – why we can’t go to the Mallabhum Bishnupur once again. It was almost 8.30 in evening; Very few people got down from Train. I checked in the best hotel - Hotel Laxmi Park; Most pleasant stay i had ever in any moderate range hotel as a traveller. After a heavy dinner i took my deep slumber and got up at early morning. The aircondition was chilling me in the room. It was drizzling outside. I took a rishkaw from my hotel and went to Lalbandh. The place i like most - nothing special - but seating on the water side made me cool all the time. Last time i checked in Bishnupur Tourist Lodge. I spent a whole evening on water side. That was a winter evening. This is July. Obviously - i can't feel that pleasant soothing air - but still the view was something eye catching. I took two shots of Cotton pygmy goose and little grebe in the water. The water level was much below as expected - the city does not have little or no raining for the last three/four months. After back to my hotel - along with my wife and relatives i left for the temple expedition. Really amazing the structures and style they built in their time. Yes - i am telling about Malla Dynasty. Starting from the Rasmancha - we proceed to one by one - Shyamray, Krishnaray, Madanmohan, Nandalal, Lalji, Chinnamasta temples......all are favoulous. After a good lunch we took a rest and in the afternoon we left from Hotel for station. Yeah-we took Rupasa Bangla and reached Kolkata. Short but beautiful - this was an excellent tour we managed.
