Rarheswar Shiva Temple

Rarheswar Shiva Temple is one of the older sacred sites around Durgapur, traditionally dated to more than 800 years ago. Its architecture is unusual for the region, with forms compared to the rathas of southern India.

The temple is worth the short trip if you are interested in Bengal's older religious architecture. Go with modest expectations: it is a local shrine, not a large monument, but its age and style make it stand out.
