Balaram Temple
A holy Hindu temple dedicated to the gods Krishna and Balaram.
কামতেশ্বরী মন্দির
There have been various opinions about who built the temple because both the Khen and the Koch dynasties were worshippers of the goddess Kamteswari. It is now accepted that the original temple was destroyed and the present temple was built by Maharaja Pran Narayan of Cooch Behar in 1665. The main temple roof has been built in the Bengal cār cālā (চার চালা) style having a curved cornish with a circular dome atop. There are two entrances to the temple, the main entrance being on the west and another on the north. There is a nahabatkhana at the main entrance to the temple.
