DHAKESWARI TEMPLE



Exterior view:                                                                                                                                     Within the bounds of the Dhakeswari there are temples of two types of architecture. The age-old one is of the Poncharotna Goddess Durga’s which absent its absolute attending afterwards the advance work. Bradly Bird wrote this at the alpha of this century. The present temple is two hundred years old which was congenital by an abettor of East India Company. Most apparently he had adapted the temple. Other than this there are four Shib Temples. According to hearsay, in the 16th aeon King Mansing congenital these temples by laying four Shib Lingas there. But this advice seems to be unreliable. The admixture of Bangla chowchala and shikor temple is apprehension in the architectonics of Dhakeshawri. Ratan Lal Chakraborti in an commodity mentioned that “ the anatomy and architectonics of it is like a Buddhist Pagoda”. He opined that it was apparently a Boddist pagoda which was angry into a Hindu temple later. From this he affected that the temple was apparently congenital in 10th century.
How did Dhakeshari temple attending like in 19th century? Ridoynath Majumder declared about the temple. At that time the temple was covered by boscage and in its arctic the Urdu alley went westward appear Pilkhana and at its south west was Mirpur road. At its south there was a copse and Urdu bazar was at the east.                                                                                                                                                                                          

Interior view:
The temple was panchoratno, at its foreground Natamandir and about it there is a row of apartment and a big pond and nahobottola aboideau through which albatross acclimated to go. At its east there are tombs of some saints who acclimated to adjure or meditate at the temple. Outside the temple there are 5-6 pagoda with a shiblinga. The priest of Dhakeshawri temple acclimated adjure every day. The celestial is doshvuja. It is believed that it is fabricated of gold. At the larboard and appropriate ancillary of the celestial there are some added murti. Like the age-old temples its central is dark. To see the celestial ablaze is to be arranged. The temple is endemic by abounding because it is bought by the new babysitter from the old caretakers. Jotindramohan bought it in 1901. Dhakeshawri is awash but it is an address of peace. The low complete of the argot mixes with the black ablaze and tune of temple alarm and accomplish the peaceful ambiance a blessed event.
