Dhakeshwari Temple, Hindu temple in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh
Dhakeshwari Temple features three pyramidal towers above its main chambers, with the central tower rising notably higher than the adjacent structures.
The temple complex displays Muslim architectural influences through its lime mortar construction, contrary to earlier claims of its establishment by King Ballal Sen.
The temple serves as Bangladesh's national temple, maintaining daily worship rituals and hosting major Hindu festivals throughout the religious calendar.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with special ceremonies on Fridays for Santoshi Mata worship and Saturdays for Shani prayers.
The temple grounds contain four Shiva shrines, a sacred pond, administrative buildings, and dedicated spaces for food preparation and offering distribution.
