What is the first word that comes to your mind when someone says West Bengal? Is it the rich history and culture, the aroma of mustard-cooked fish or the sweetness of sandesh?
From scenic beaches and historic sites to the beauty of the Sunderbans, West Bengal is a perfect blend of colours and for the same reason, it’s every photographer’s dream destination. We recently stumbled upon an Instagram account called onlyinbengal and it shows the shades of the state better than anything we’ve ever seen.
Isn’t it spectacular?
From picturesque streets…
… to amazing food, Bengal is bound to mesmerise your soul.
You will find sheer beauty in commonplace things here. And believe us, it’s totally worth it.
