Moyna, Purba Medinipur
Moyna (referred to as Dakshin Moyna in census records) is a village in Moyna CD block in Tamluk subdivision of Purba Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal, India. History According to Binoy Ghosh, the ancient or even the medieval history of Moyna or Moynagarh is mired in controversy and uncertainties.
