Why did a 100-year-old temple in Bihar fall into the Ganga?
A century-old Chaiti Durga Temple located in Bhagalpur, Bihar, has collapsed into the Ganga river following significant erosion of the riverbank that destabilized its foundation. According to authorities, the erosion was triggered by a combination of high water levels, powerful currents, heavy silt buildup, and shifts in the river's path. The structure was situated near a sensitive pressure point along the Raghopur-Kajikoreiya embankment, where intense scouring led to its destruction.
