Sonarang Twin Temples

The Sonarang Twin Temples stand on a masonry platform, with the western temple reaching 15 meters and the eastern temple measuring 4 meters per side.

Rupchandra established the temples in two phases, constructing the larger Kali temple in 1843 and completing the smaller Shiva temple in 1886.

The temples incorporate traditional Hindu architectural elements, including shikhara towers, decorative arches, and religious symbols such as the trident finial.

The temple complex features an access path on the eastern side and remains open to visitors throughout the year for religious ceremonies and architectural studies.

A protective moat surrounds three sides of the temple platform, while the western temple displays nine decorative towers in a navaratna configuration.
