A temple located on the banks of the Ganges River in the Indian state of West Bengal collapsed into the water following a period of intense soil erosion. Local authorities reported that the riverbank, which had been reinforced with protective barriers, failed to withstand the force of the current, leading to the structural failure of the building.

While the collapse highlights ongoing concerns regarding riverbank stability in the region, the incident did not result in any reported injuries or fatalities. The collapse is part of a broader environmental challenge in West Bengal, where seasonal flooding and shifting river currents frequently threaten infrastructure located near the Ganges. Officials are currently assessing the extent of the damage to the surrounding area to determine if further structures are at risk of being swept away by the river. There is currently no information regarding plans for reconstruction or the specific age and historical significance of the temple that was lost.
