BINNAKANDI TUNNEL
24.716700,92.966700
Description
What appears to represent a natural sacred temple cave mentions Graham Bower (1938.11 Mss): The Binnakandi temple [note 1] was an important one, and there are constant references to it. It seems to have stood near a cave, to which the only account which gives any details refers as 'a tunnel'. Goats were sacrificed here too, and the account goes on to say that a Manipuri Brahman was in charge of the temple, but that it had now been defiled and nobody went there.What appears to represent a natural sacred temple cave mentions Graham Bower (1938.11 Mss): The Binnakandi temple [note 1] was an important one, and there are constant references to it.
