Kantajew Temple in Nageswari

This ancient Temple is revered by the people of the religion. It is a giant and beautiful temple. Anyone who travels a lot will find his experience precious. It required a King to support the huge construction with finance and land. However, it also required minds with engineering excellence to build it up from the ground as a tall, symmetrical architectural Marvel.If you are in the vicinity, dont forget to visit the old Mosque built by the same King which is nearby.

This is a holy place of Hindu. It also famous for it’s own beauty. This temple is covered with terracotta pattern. This makes this temple very unique. Every year thousands people visit this temple.

This is a National Heritage!Loved this place & their culture..

I have visited this beautiful centuries old shrine many years ago. The earthen terracotta stories decorated on walls of this mandir is fabulous. But I am shocked to see during my recent visit there (October 2022that sheds have been constructed all around the temple for festivals. This has completely obstructed the view of this majestic heritage building from outside and once you enter there you no more have that feel of greatness which everyone obviously had earlier even from distance and surely once you approached the temple. So unfortunate!

It was good experience to see an UNESCO World Heritage

Some time i spant this place.A holy place for Hindus and UNESCO has recognized this as a world heritage site. A must-visit place if someone travels to Dinajpur.
