Town of lost temple
Telkupi is 18 kms away from Raghunathpur, Purulia. The most efficient way to get there is by private vehicle as there is no direct bus route. From Lalpur village near Telkupi, you could hire a country boat at a small fee to sail right up to the submerged shrines.
Telkupi (or Tailakampi) is a small non-descript village on the banks of Damodar River under Raghunathpur police station in Purulia district. The place has recently garnered interest among archaeologists and tourists, who flock there to view the Jaina architectural ruins of temples (Bhairavasthan) submerged by Panchet Dam in the Damodar River.
