Sukharia - Temple and Crumbling Mansion

The 25 pinnacled Ananda Bhairavi Temple stands adjacent to the crumbling ancestral mansion of the Mitra Mustafi family at Sukharia, Hooghly district of West Bengal. The Mitra Mustafi family is very well known at Sukharia. They have their family spread to the nearby settlement of Sripur and at Ula Birnagar located near the busy city of Krishnanagar.

 

It may be worth mentioning that Mrinal Sen shot his film ''Akaler Sandhane" at Sukharia. Many scenes were shot inside this crumbling residence.
