Ruins of Pathra- The Temple Village of Bengal, situated on the bank of the River Kangsabati. If you are a movie buff and have watched the recent movie Bakita Byaktigoto, you will remember Mohinigram, a fantasy land where all fell in love.But this village exists in real life too, only 14 kilometres away from Midnapore. The village is known as Pathra and has a natural splendor that will mesmerize all. At present there are 34 temples in the town, the remaining are either in ruins, completely destroyed or went underwater. The historical background of Pathra returns to the Gupta age when the spot was the hinterland of Tamralipta port, an entryway to southeast Asia. From the 8th Century to the 12th Century, it was a significant centre for Sanatan Dharma. The defining moment throughout the entire existence of the town came in 1732 when Nawab Alivardi Khan designated Bidyananda Ghoshal as the revenue collector of Ratnachawk pargana.

Beautiful remote temple. Archaeology department maintain this heritage place. Different experience

Awesome place outskirts of Midnapore place is full of temples National Heritage site but it is a offbeat destination to visit not much tourists visit here .

This place popularly known as Village of Temples, In one place many temples constructed in the year 1958. It's just one side of Midnapore city, nearly 6 km from the main town. Please visit once, it's very beutiful please and maintained carefully. Very neat and clean. It's situated in the bank of Kangsabati river. ( West Midnapore).
