Krishna photoggrapy[bonaigarh]

The name of my village is Bonaigarh. It is situated on the bank of the Brahmani. My village is separated from other villages by the main river on one side and by its tributary on two other sides. The village is very old and has a number of special features.
Although it faces flood every year, the geographical feature of the village has not altered. It is believed that Lord Banashur who is the village deity protects this village in all kinds of disaster.
It is said that in old days the king ordered the people of this village to weave for him a special cloth. As the weavers delayed their work, the king was enraged and punished them. The villagers were united and revolted against the king. They stopped doing their profession. Being deprived of the royal help they solely depended on farming. Since that day they have been doing agriculture only.
It is a small town. Its population is about 10,000 only. It is sixty kilometers away from Rourkela. It looks green as there are many green trees in our village. The temple of Lord Baneswar is situated in the first of the village. There is also a big pond near the temple. There are champak trees, mango trees, a few oleander trees and a big peepal tree around the pond. This part of our village presents a beautiful: it. The smell of flowers and mango buds combined with how attractive colour arrests everybody's attention.
Our village has a fair weather connection with the main road. As it is a very small village, the government has taken step to construct a bridge over the river.
In spite of it our village is a developed one. There is schools, college, hospital, banks, post office, and market with teaching facility.
Our village has a good name for vegetable production. The river is very helpful to our villagers. All kinds of seasonal vegetables are available in good quality and cheap price. For this reason, many vegetable merchants come to our village for collecting fresh vegetables in large quantity. However, our villagers are united and therefore they are seldom influenced by the foreign merchants.
