More Information:	Points to remember On the way to Rajrajeswar temple, you will find a lot of local weaver hub (Tanti). You will get to see how they make bengal 'Tant' sarees. You will definitely feel good seeing their work and talk to them. You should try lunch from Antpur Ramakrishna Math. Coupon prize is Rs. 50 which you can get from office room of Math. They will start providing lunch at 1 pm. Make sure before lunch you will finish visiting Ramkrishna math temple and specially Radhagobindajiu temple nearby (which remains closed from 1:30 pm to 5:45 pm approx). Once Sridhar Damoder temple was very famous for colorful terracotta artwork, but now you won't find the same. The main attraction of the temple has lost due to the newly painted outer color and local houses around. If you are depending on trekker all the time make sure you are strong enough to make a risky journey as most of the time you have to hang outside of the trekker due to lack of seat inside. Yes people usually do the same. So better to avail bus service.
