Local risks in Bishnupur

Lightning in the district, July 2025

On 24 July 2025, lightning killed eight people in different parts of Bankura district during thunderstorms, four of them in the Onda police station area. Farmers working in open fields are the most exposed.

Rivers above danger level, September 2024

In September 2024, the Dwarakeswar and Shilabati rivers ran above the extreme danger level, and Bankura was among the districts listed as flooded after heavy rain and dam releases. Heavy rain upstream can raise these rivers even when the sky over the town is clear.

Bishnupur Mela crowds

The handicraft and cultural fair, held every year since 1988, usually runs from 23 to 27 December. The terracotta temples are on the UNESCO tentative list, so the town fills up with visitors in the cold season.

One fire station in reach

The official list shows a single station within about 12 km of the centre, the Bishnupur station at Moirapukur. A fire on the outskirts can take longer to reach, so keep an extinguisher or a bucket of sand at home and call 101 without delay.
