Beside it you can see the temple of "Radha Gobinda" a famous temple of Lord Krishna and Radha. You will even be able to see the twelve temples of Lord Shiva (The God of destruction).
Nature and bird lovers can visit the temple in the morning to see the beauty of of the sun rising from the lap of The great Ganges speading all over its beautiful pleasant rays on the earth as if speading allover its kingdom. In the temple compound we will be able to see thousands of pigeons looking ahead to be fed by the bird feeders, its really a beautiful scenario which is unforgetable.
The temple was built by Rani Rashmoni between 1847 and 1855. Ramakrishna Paramahamsadev was the head and only priest of this temple from 1856 to 1886. After his death it has been taken over by the West Bengal Government. It attracts thousands of worshippers round the year.
