The largest ancient architectural complex in the Bengal region is the Puthia Indian Temple Complex

Puthia is about 30 kilometers east of Rajshahi. In the 16th century, Bhatsacharya became the major clan of this region. Later, his son accepted the title of Raja (local chieftain) bestowed by the Mughal Emperor, and the family's land and wealth ranked second in the Bengal region, also being the second largest Zamindar. The first Indian Nobel laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore, was a Bengali noble and also a Zamindar. During the era of East and West Pakistan, the Zamindar system was abolished in the 20th century, and the Puthia Raja family moved to India, with all their properties in Puthia being confiscated. The Puthia Temple Complex was built in the late 19th century during the most glorious times of the Raja family and is now the largest temple complex in Bangladesh. The Puthia Temple Complex is scattered around a moat-shaped lake, comprising seven Hindu temples with different styles and a palace, six of which were built by the Puthia Raja. In the face of years of neglect, the construction dates from the 18th and 19th centuries seem even more distant. Among them, the Pancharatna style of temples is unique to the Bengal region, with dazzling terracotta work. Due to time constraints, the visit was quite rushed. 𓀅Bhubaneshwar Shiva Temple: The largest Shiva temple in Bengal. 𓀃Pancha Ratna Govinda Temple: The entrance is inside the palace. 𓀁Chota Anhik Mandir: Particularly small but still eye-catching. 𓀀Chauchala Chhota Govinda Mandir and Bara Anhik Mandir: Two temples next to each other, quite dizzying. 𓀌Dol-Mandir: The most unique one, spotted from afar.
