India: West Bengal

In 2003 I travelled to Calcutta, India, then explored the West Bengal country to the north. These photos were made near ancient sites of Malda, Pandua, and Gaur (brought to ruin by the Ganges River changing course), wandering the mud villages, concluding at the Hooghly River in Calcutta itself.
