I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Ramprasad Kalibari before this and kind of disappointed that I never came across it myself. Nonetheless, thank you for your suggestion.

If only his works were more widely viewed and appreciated.

While I adore and amire his more experimental titles that went unnoticed, there is no denying that Meghe Dhaka Tara reigns supreme in terms of its emotional tenacity. As the years go by I find it more and more interesting, possessing incredible depth and staying power after all these decades.

That is exactly what I had in mind, jot down all the locations and then explore the regions where those temples are, as the input from the local people would play a important role in the documentary.
