Summary

Description
English: The south facing Jor Bangla temple is one of its kind at Chandrakona. The temple is twenty feet high, around 28.6 feet in length and 26 feet in width. The temple is devoid of any foundation stone and is considered to be made in the 17th century. There is no other temple of this style of architecture at present in Chandrakona.
Although the temple has been restored and protected under State Archaeology department, yet the temple lies in complete neglect. The contrasting fact is that despite worship taking place inside the temple, it is also a storehouse of fodder for animals and the locals put cow dung on its walls, which hinders in taking a decent photo of this temple. Locating this temple is a bit difficult.
This is a photo of ASI monument number
S-WB-77.
