Shot it at Gangasagar Fair .Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal (INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of pilgrims from all over India.
The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Negha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect......

I realized I hadn't quite shown Guórén/Jinsuke's refreshed faceup head-on, have I?
Coupled with those eyes that can appear fierce or gentle depending on the situation, he now looks like the Lion Clan half-gaijin bushi that he is.

New to Ballantyne, Bellshill
The early 21st century seemed to be a golden era for independent bus operators in Milton Keynes. Refresh Travel Solutions was the genesis of Centrebus's operations in the Home Counties and started out operating jointly with Grant Palmer under the 'inMotion' brand name seen on the vehicle. By this time Palmer had left the partnership; Refresh Travel Solutions would later become LQT Ltd and merge with Lutonian to form the Bedfordshire part of the Centrebus empire.

Wortham is another village on the A143, and the first you encounter heading west after passesr over the A140 at Diss. It is notable, because after a good ten mile run at the speed limit, there is a 30mph limit through the village, which from the road is mainly the common on the right, and the village pub on the left, and there used to be a cracking chippy here I seem to remember, but gone now.
On my daily drives along the main road, I wondered where the church in Wortham might be, until I saw a sign at the crossroads, which gave it away.
You follow the sign through the village and out into countryside, thinking you must have missed the church. UNtil you come to a meeting of narrow lanes, and there, sticking out of the hedge in front is a lych gate. And beyond, hidden from view, is St Mary the Virgin.
Even when through the lych gate, the church is hidden as you walk along between rows of mature trees, the church slowly revealing itself.
Against the south wall, a couple were unwrapping their picnic lunch; the best view in Suffolk the lady told me. And their favourite church. I could see why, a neat little bell cote rose above the most amazing truncated round flint tower, like tower in the curtain wall of a castle. it mist have been impressive when complete; its impressive now.
Inside there are some great arts and crafts windows, and splendid carvings at the end of each pew, must have been after the reformation, as they had not been defaced.
-----------------------------------------
The church of St Mary the Virgin, which is built mainly in the Perpendicular style, stands adjacent to Hall Farm, a mile north of the A143. It is the only Grade I listed building in Wortham. At the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) there were two parishes in Wortham, Eastgate and Southmore (also called “Southmoor”); each with their own church and parsonage. In 1769 the two parishes combined under the Rector of Eastgate, and the Saxon church of Southmore fell into ruin and disappeared. Excavations by Basil Brown (excavator of Sutton Hoo) in the 1950’s, located the probable site of Southmore church on the Bury Road towards Diss.
Wortham Manor was the seat of the Betts family from 1480-1905 and their life in the village is described in the book "The Betts of Wortham in Suffolk 1480-1905" by Katharine Doughty, published in 1912. The Betts are commemorated in the church by floor slabs in the chancel and south aisle, the Betts window and a hatchment in the south aisle.
Richard Cobbold is the most well-known Rector of Wortham. He was born in 1797, the son of John Cobbold, a successful brewer in Ipswich. He was the Rector of Wortham from 1824 until his death in 1877. Cobbold wrote poetry and prose and in 1845 his first and most successful novel, The History of Margaret Catchpole, was published. Cobbold recorded many of the places and people in Wortham together with sketches of them and their homes. He wrote delightful notes about the villagers’ characters, their ailments and their circumstances. These were published in 1977 as "The Biography of a Victorian Village" by Ronald Fletcher. For more detailed information about Richard Cobbold, see the Cobbold Family History Trust Website.
THE TITHE WAR
In the 1930’s the novelist, Doreen Wallace, who was the wife of the farmer Roland Rash at Wortham Manor, agitated against the high tithes tax that farmers had to pay to the church and in 1934 her husband refused to pay them. When bailiffs tried to remove livestock from his farm there was a large demonstration and a tractor was used to barricade the entrance to the manor. However the animals were eventually seized and this is recorded on a stone monument a quarter of a mile west of the church.

---------------------------------------
ou could visit St Mary without ever seeing Wortham - and vice versa. The parish contains five settlements scattered around Suffolk's largest common. The biggest village is on the main Bury to Diss road, where you'll find the pub and a lovely old-fashioned little shop-cum-cafe. St Mary, by contrast, is on its own a mile or so to the north on an ancient road that runs between Palgrave and Redgrave. Between the church and the village stretches the ancient common, gorse-covered now that it is undergrazed, bleak and mysterious in winter, verdant in summer. It's a strange place.
St Mary has the biggest round tower in England, fully ten metres across. Round towers are an East Anglian speciality, apart from a handful in the Ouse valley in Sussex, and the source of some wild speculation. The Saxon origins of some have encouraged people to suggest that they were fortifications, and only had churches added to them when the Normans came.
However, many of the round towers post-date the Norman Invasion - indeed, some seem to be from as late as the 13th Century - and some of them are not as old as the churches against which they stand. Bramfield is the only one in Suffolk that is separate from a church building, suggesting that they were always ecclesial in character. The most outlandish explanation is that they are the linings of ancient wells, left exposed as the land receded. This is pure nonsense, of course, but rather charming. They were all probably built as church towers, and may have been intended as lookout towers as well (why not? we know that some of the square ones were). But it is hard to look at the mighty bulk of Wortham tower and not think that it had some kind of defensive purpose as well.
I fondly remember being here on a lovely day in early summer. I had cycled the four miles from Palgrave along the narrow lane in a shimmering heat. There were no cars about, not a person to be seen. A huge golden hare sat watchfully in the verge, hauling himself back into the hedgerow as I approached. Off to my right, a line of low hills was punctuated by church towers, one of them round and only a field or so away; but they were all in Norfolk. Most recently, Peter Stephens and I came here on the day of the 2008 Historic Churches Bike Ride, another beautiful day, when the lanes were full of life.
St Mary's tower is so striking that it might take you a moment to notice quite how lovely the nave is. It has one of the prettiest clerestories in north Suffolk. The setting is lovely too, within a mature graveyard that is maintained as a wildlife sanctuary. Although you can't go inside the tower, you can see inside. It is open to the sky, but you can make out where internal floors were, and what looks like a fireplace. If the tower predates the Normans, then it doesn't do so by much. The little bellcote was added in the 18th century, presumably because the internal floors of the tower had collapsed.
The rest of the building is almost entirely the result of energetic activity in the half century or so after the Black Death. This is when the aisles were added, and then the clerestory and chancel. You step inside to a welcoming, well-kept interior. It doesn't feel particularly rustic; we could be in the middle of a small town.
I hope you will be as struck as I always am by the bench ends. They were done by a parishioner, Albert Bartrum, in the 1890s. They illustrate the verses of the 104th psalm, and as well as various figures going about their business they include a walrus, a tortoise and an owl. A bench in the south aisle has blacksmiths tools carved on it, perhaps to remember someone who once regularly sat there.
Much of the interior furnishings were renewed as part of a series of vigorous restorations during the second half of the 19th century, mostly under the eyes of one of Suffolk's most famous ministers, Richard Cobbold. He was Rector here for more than 50 years, and completely oversaw the turnaround in the Church of England that transformed St Mary from a preaching hall to a sacramental house of God. He is more familiar to historians as the author of the notes that became Biography of a Victorian Village, probably the best single account of Suffolk in the 19th century; now incomprehensibly out of print, although easy enough to obtain second-hand. Because of it, we know more about Wortham in the 19th century than any other Suffolk parish. He also wrote the novel Margaret Catchpole, a best-seller in its day, and still worth a read. This novel is remembered in the name of the pub beside the grounds of the former Cobbold family home in Cliff Lane, Ipswich. Cobbold himself is remembered by a modest memorial on the chancel wall, that's all.
The font he baptised several generations of his parishioners in is a fat 14th century one, with grand traceried gables on the panels. There is an unusual carved Charles II royal arms, nearly identical to a set in the church of the neighbouring parish of Mellis. A more recent arrival is a set of four glass medallions illustrating the seasons; they are not to my taste, but they are a sign that this church is still renewing itself.
A lovely building, then, and about halfway between two others that are equally lovely, so if you fancy a nice bike ride I recommend you to take your bike on the train to Diss, cycle a mile or so to Palgrave, and then along this narrow lane past St Mary to Redgrave. Not only will you have visited three fine churches, but Redgrave has a decent pub. A stop there may refresh you enough to allow you to continue through Hinderclay, Hepworth, Walsham, Ixworth, and all the way to Bury St Edmunds, where your train awaits.
Not far from the churchyard, along the road to Redgrave, a modest memorial sits by the corner of a field. It remembers the tithe wars of the 1930s, when non-churchgoing landowners fought for the right not to pay for the upkeep of the local established church. One of the biggest confrontations was here at Wortham, where there was a stand-off between hundreds of police and fascist black-shirt thugs outside Wortham Rectory. Hard to imagine now.
