The temple
The Bhavaniswar Mandir at Baranagar was built in 1755 by Tarasundari, daughter of Rani Bhabani. It is the tallest lime and mortar temple at Baranagar. According to Shyamal Chaterji, researcher on Hindu iconography, the “inverted lotus-like dome of this 18 M tall temple and a circular corridor around the inner sanctum are note-worthy features. Human figures on the outer facade are average. The floral motifs on the outer wall of inner sanctum are excellent.”[1]
According to the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal the Bhavaniswar Mandir is an ASI listed monument.[3]
