Tour Comment

edit
  1. Paschim Medinipur district is a vast area to document. The heritage monuments are located in the interior of the villages, which are at times difficult to navigate. Some of the residents are not very keen to have the monuments documented at most of the places and at times hostile. A few are helpful but most want Government to take initiative to conserve.
  2. I had a friend of mine accompanying me in this tour, who went paying his own train fare. He was helpful in handling the locals which made it easy for me to document the monuments. In future I will require a professional to do the same as I cannot always get friends accompanying me in the remote areas for 5 days.
  3. Some on Paschim Medinipur district's heritage spots were included in Purba Medinipur exploration programme to make it easy to handle such a vast district.
