About
Regarded as one of the most important pilgrimage sites in West Bengal, Gangasagar is extensively visited during Makar Sankranti. Located on an island in the Sunderbans, the unexplored and unexploited Gangasagar, fondly known as Sagardwip is an amazing destination for both pilgrims and adventure-lovers.
Every year during Makar Sankranti pilgrims from all over the country come to take a holy dip at the confluence of the river Ganges and Bay of Bengal, followed by offering prayers at the Kapil Muni Temple. This temple is immersed in legendary tales and is highly revered among devotees.
