Kapil Muni Temple, Hindu temple in Gangasagar, West Bengal, India.
The Kapil Muni Temple stands at the confluence of the Ganges River and Bay of Bengal, featuring traditional Indian architectural designs with detailed carvings.
The first temple structure appeared in 430 AD under Queen Satyabhama's direction, while the current building dates from 1974 following multiple reconstructions.
Millions of Hindu pilgrims gather at the temple during Gangasagar Mela, a religious fair coinciding with Makar Sankranti, for ritual bathing and prayers.
Visitors reach the temple by flying to Kolkata, taking ground transportation to Kakdwip, then boarding a ferry service to Gangasagar island.
The temple experiences periodic tidal flooding due to its location at the meeting point of the Ganges River and Bay of Bengal.
