SHANKAR PUR

      Shankarpur is a hamlet on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. The place is famous for fish trading. But that's not what makes it special. Simplicity is what makes Shankarpur special. The tranquility is mesmerizing. A moderately wide metalled road, a few hotels,beach with the cover of jhou & sea - Shankarpur has this much of assets.


     There is a concrete structure to protect the beach from the attack of sea. On the top of it there are sitting arrangements & a lane for a leisurely walk. The structure slopes towards the water. During high tide the sea goes mad.She roars, rushes towards the beach & hits the concrete structure violently.This is the only time when silence of Shankarpur is broken. If you be there at that moment, you won't see anything other than water before you. The sea wears blue & green.


       Shankarpur doesn't have the grandeur of Digha. In spite of that it's beautiful. Simplicity is the source of its beauty.
