CHARBANGLA TEMPLE, BARONAGAR




One of the Charbangla temples built by Rani Bhavani of Natore. Each temple has three arched openings & three Shiva Lingas.The decorative themes, which vary, are drawn mainly from the Hindu Epics & Puranas.On the top of the curvilinear roof stand three tridents symbolising the spirit of Shiva to which deity ,the temple has been dedicated.The rosetts & traceries have framed the structure & the terracotta panels into an intersting pattern. The main panel above the middle arch of the temple depicts the scene from Ramayan of the epic fight between Rama & the Ten- headed Ravana.
