Bamni Falls, located within the Ajodhya Hills in Purulia, West Bengal, is a natural attraction known for its cascading water flowing over rugged, boulder-strewn terrain. It is famous for its tranquil, dense forest surroundings, steep trekking trail with narrow stairs, and serene environment. The waterfall cascades down in stages, with distinct levels, including around 350 to 750 steps through rocky, hilly terrain. Visiting the falls is hazardous, particularly during the monsoon season, with risks including flash floods, extremely slippery rocks, and strong currents. Other dangers include taking selfies near steep, unguarded cliffs and leech infestations. Mass tourists stand on wet slippery rocks, take selfies, and some even go into the waterfall and collect water, at a place where a death occurred just a few days ago in Ajodhya Hill, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.

Chhinnamasta, also known as Chhinnamastika or Chhinnamasta Kali, is a Hindu goddess symbolizing both aspects of Devi - a life-giver and a life-taker. The Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta holds significant importance in both Tantric and Tibetan Buddhism, where she is known as Chinnamunda or Trikaya-vajrayogini. She embodies contradictions, representing sexual self-control and energy. The self-decapitated nude goddess usually stands or sits on a divine copulating couple, holding her own severed head in one hand and a scimitar in another. Three jets of blood spurt out of her bleeding neck and are drunk by her severed head and two attendants. Here, the Chhinnamasta goddess is worshipped with the playing of dhak, drums, and shehnai (a type of wind instrument) in a temple in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on December 25, 2025.
