Madangopal-jiu Temple, Hindu temple in Mellak, India

The Madangopal-jiu Temple stands with terracotta decorations and features an eight-sloped roof design following the traditional At-chala architectural pattern of West Bengal.

Built in 1651 by Mukundaprasad Roychowdhury, a descendant of the Mellak zamindars, this temple originally stood near the Rupnarayan River, which has since shifted course.

The temple holds regular ceremonies dedicated to deities Radha and Madangopala, with major celebrations during the festivals of Janmastami and Dol Yatra.

Located at coordinates 22.4668°N and 87.9057°E in the Bagnan II block of Howrah district, the temple requires reconstruction work to preserve its structure.

A local family maintains and performs daily worship for the temple idols, continuing centuries-old traditions despite the building's current structural condition.
