Susunia Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Susunia is a hill in the Bankura district of West Bengal and a place of archaeological interest and a rock climbing centre. It is a picnic spot for people residing in the surrounding areas.

    It is believed that there earlier was a fort built by King Chandravarman. Some 4th century inscriptions are there, referring to a place called Pushkarana, once the capital of King Chandravarman. Modern-day Pakhanna, a village in Bankura district, is considered to be ancient Pushkarana. Some animal fossils were discovered at Susunia.

    There is an ancient carved monolith (Narasingha stone) standing at the point where the spring water is coming out of another curved stone projected spout.
