Temple of Chandrabati

Temple of Chandrabati, Hindu temple in Kishoreganj Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh.

The Temple of Chandrabati is an octagonal Shiva temple about 32 feet tall, with each of its eight sides measuring 8 feet. Its ground floor holds a single room entered by a doorway and containing seven niches; the upper level has a wide niche with terracotta ornament, and the structure tapers upward to its peak. It stands on the bank of the Phuleshwari River in Kacharipara village, Maizkhapan Union.

The octagonal Shiva temple was built in the second half of the 16th century for the poet Chandrabati, daughter of the Manasa Mangal poet Dvija Bansidas. Local legend, recorded in Nayan Ghosh's ballad 'Chandrabati', holds that she asked her father for a shrine after Jayananda broke their betrothal and married a Muslim woman, Kamala, converting for the marriage. Chandrabati then chose to remain unmarried, and the temple was raised on the bank of the Phuleshwari River. In the 1990s the Department of Archaeology repaired parts of it.

The temple is named after Chandrabati, the 16th-century poet and daughter of Manasa Mangal poet Dvija Bansidas, who asked her father to build a shrine for her worship after Jayananda broke their betrothal and married Kamala. Local tradition also links the site to the pala song 'Chandrabati' by Nayan Ghosh. The octagonal Shiva temple stands on the bank of the Phuleshwari River in Kacharipara village, Maizkhapan Union.

The octagonal temple stands on the bank of the Phuleshwari River in Kacharipara village, Maizkhapan Union, within Kishoreganj Sadar Upazila. The structure rises about 32 feet, with each of its eight sides measuring 8 feet. Visitors should arrange local transport from Kishoreganj town and ask residents for directions to the riverside site.

The temple is actually a Shiva shrine, not a monument to the poet Chandrabati. It was built in the second half of the 16th century at her request after Jayananda broke his promise to marry her and wed Kamala, a Muslim woman, converting for the marriage. Chandrabati then chose to remain unmarried for life.
