Purulia's 'Sial Mor' named for Harbola Ganesh Karmakar's fox call talent

• Late Ganesh Karmakar, a renowned 'Harbola' from Paharpur village, Purulia, was famous for perfectly imitating animal and bird calls, especially foxes.
• After his death 20 years ago, villagers renamed the local intersection 'Sial Mor' (Fox Junction) in his honor, due to his exceptional fox imitations.
• The name 'Sial Mor' perpetuates the memory of Karmakar's unique talent, as he was often known as "Jiyal" (fox-man) by locals.
• His son and daughter-in-law expressed pride that the community honored their father's memory by naming the intersection after his distinctive skill.

Why It Matters: It highlights how a community preserves the memory of a unique local artist.
