Nandadulal Temple in Bhatpara

A historic temple in the heart of Chandannagar. The temple is built in ekbangla or dochala style with very little terracotta work. The temple was damaged in the Third Carnatic War between French and British in 1757 AD and the British looted the temple and broke the original idol of Nandadulal. The present idol of Nandadulal was established much later.

I love tempel

Really good ambience..I want to get inside and offer my prayers one day

Nice temple with quiet ambience. Sawsome localites gossiping in the verandah.

The oldest existing monument of Chandannagar, hosting lord shri krishna. It is almost about 300 years old. Marks of canon ball fired during the war between France and Britain at Chandannagar in 1757 can be seen today at the back wall of the temple. Its architecture resembles old Bengal do chala.

One of the few places where Durga Puja is celebrated in Chandernagore. It was a heavenly experience whilst offering anjali on the mahastami morning. The priests chants in divining melody created a supernatunal ambience.

A widow with two boys named Rajaram and Indranath being driven out of Jessore (now in Bangla Desh was found in Chinsurah ,the adjacent Dutch settlement looking for shelter in the early part of 18th Century.Having failed to obtain such a refuge at Chinsurah arrived at Chandannagore the then French Settlement and got what she wanted. Her youngest son Indra was very meritorious and intelligent and established himself as a successful revenue collector of the French settlement. He bought landed property where he had his residential house and the said temple built. Nanddulal was their household deity and that is why the image of Nandadulal was installed in 1740. While there was strong rivalry between French and British Trade companies as to be predominant in the riparian area, the British forces attacked the French forces and occupied Chandannagore prior to the battle of Palasey in 1757. British were afraid that the then Nawab of Bengal should not be allowed any chance to get assistance from the French and the attack of Chandannagore was just the prelude to prevent the Nawab and French to build axis. During this war Nanddulal temple was damaged but it is doubtful whether the damage was due to use of cannon by the British who always kept them off from breaking any temple or breaking the image. However the image or the statue was reportedly thrown into the nearby pond from where the lower part of the image was caught in the net of fisherman and has been kept in the nearby museum, while the upper part was reportedly taken to Benares and immersed in the Ganges. The temple remained without any image or statute for a long time and the temple was renovated in 1958 and a new image was installed in 2005. There is a committee which runs the temple and the daily worship takes place in the morning and evening. The opening time in the morning from 7 to 9-30 and in the evening from 7-to 9 PM.

It was good experience at Chandannagar.

Historical place to visit and one can find " Ek-chala" temple representative of togetherness in a family.
