The Grand Canyon of Bengal is an awe-inspiring natural wonder located in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a deep, steep-sided gorge carved by the Shilabati River, making it one of the most spectacular sites in India.  According to folklore, the Pandavas, five brothers from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, arrived at Gangani during their exile period.
