Just north of the char ani mansion and on the west bank of Shyam Sagar lies a small temple complex housing three temples. These are Gopal Temple, Choto Gobindo Temple and Boro Annik Mandir. The Gobindo Temple is located on the left of the entrance, It is a two-storied temple without any ornamentation.
The east facing temple follows a mixed style of Bengal temple architecture. The central part follows the do chala style and is flanked on both sides by two char chala structures. The front faced of the do chala section has a triple-arched entrance. The two char chala sections have a single arched entrance. The front face of the temple has elaborate terracotta ornamentation.
In 1744 the Puthia Zamindari was divided among the 4 brothers. The brothers were identified by the shares they received. One of these four brothers, who got a char ani share built this mansion. But, unlike the Puthia Rajbari (also known as panch ani) this is in utter ruins. The complex is approached through a gate. Large portions of the mansions including the roof has long collapsed. A few pillars and arches are all that remains of the mansion.
This is a very small temple following the char chala style of architecture. The front facade has elaborate terracotta ornamentation.
Panch ani palace
Puthia Rajbari or Palace is a two-storey colonial-style mansion following the Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture style. The place came up in 1895. It was an initiative of Hemanta Kumari Devi and was built in honor of her mother-in-law Sarat Sundari devi. The palace faces north and has a large open space (now used as a football and cricket ground) in front of it. Fluted Corinthian columns support the front face of the building, which also comes in with a central ornamental pediment. The palace houses a museum showcasing the rich history of the Puthia and beyond.
