A nearly 150‑year‑old Shiva temple has been swallowed by the Ganges River, known locally as the Ganga, in Malda’s Ratua‑I block, West Bengal, after severe riverbank erosion. The incident comes amid intensifying erosion in the area. Recent reports say more than 100 houses have been claimed by the Ganga River. Rising water levels in the Ganga and severe erosion continue to threaten riverbank settlements. #Bengal #Hinduism #Environment #BBCNews
