Fantastic work of Terracotta in the wall of the temple. Masterpiece. Not the best place for hangout though.
Very nice articutural design. Large place. Ancient temple of Bangladesh.
A historical temple with a significant tourism value. A national heritage site of Bangladesh which is very famous to many people of other countries. A hindu temple of God Vishnu who is also named Kantajeu. The temple is very rich with Teracotta which is a very precious form of ceramic art in this area. This is why the temple is so much popular & valuable to everyone.
It's stunning. Truly a national heritage. More people should visit this amazing temple. The area should be further developed and have proper facilities for tourists.
