Sugandha and the limits of the Barisal photograph

The received list places Sugandha at Shikarpur in the Barisal region of Bangladesh. The photograph shown here depicts the Kirtankhola riverfront at Barisal. It is regional context, not a photograph of the Sugandha shrine or a verified view of the river named in its religious account.

This distinction matters when comparing maps and captions: proximity within a region does not make two rivers or two places identical. An exact temple address and a locally supported history remain necessary before this note can serve as a full visitor guide.
