Saturday, May 3, 2025
8am to 10:30am
Starting point : Sitala Mandir on Garia Main Road - 3 minutes from Kabi Nazrul Metro Station (Garia Bazar) towards Boral

Boral in the southern fringes of the city awaits your arrival to share with you the history of this place from the Sen rulers of Bengal. This place is the home of a very unusual idol of Maa Tripursundari. Pather Panchali was shot here by the master director Satyajit Ray some 67/68 years back over a period of 3 years on a shoe string budget. Join us on this interesting exploration. We will show you:
* Adi Ganga channel
* Adi Garia Mahashashan (for old trade route connections)
* Maa Tripursundari Mandir
* The more than 900 hundred year old Sen Dighi
* Some objects found from the bed of the Dighi
* The place and area where Pather Panchali was shot (it will be quite interesting to locate the set as shown in this film, though much has changed over the years)
