To Bishnupur.

Got up at 4, the chores and was ready by a quarter past 6. Gave our soiled clothes to the house keeping staff, the luggage for the cloak room and we were off Santragachi railway station to catch the Aranya Express for Bishnupur.

Stood on the over bridge to get the platform on which the train was to arrive and also the information about the coach position.

The train, indeed, had arrived on the dot and reached our destination by 8. Got off and fetched up at Hotel Annapurna. After a quick wash up, we went for sight seeing, saw the terra-cota temples and visited a loom where Baluchuri sarees were woven and the market place where popular clay artefacts were exhibited.

Had Uttam as our guide and Aujal, as sa’arthi, on his toto.

Relished Bengali cuisine and return to our hotel.

A quiet evening thereafter.
