“Machhan”: Watch tower
One can find this old brick tower like structure while going through the forest near the village ‘Machhan’. Watch Tower is the English word for the Bengali word ‘Machhan’.People of the local area believe that the watch tower was constructed some 200 hundred years back by ‘Devi Choudhurani’. Similar type of structure can be found at Durgapur city (40km from this place). One tunnel is still their under this tower and that is connected with one at Durgapur.

Business
Life goes on in their own rhythm.
On way to home after collecting leaves and woods from forest
Looking for animal source (fish) of protein. May be burning more than one,s own share
Getting prepared for the harder time. Drying leafy vegetables which will be used during the monsoon when vegetables are luxury due to their price and availability.
My salute to those tribal population group, who are working hard against all odds for their livelihood in these remote places.
