kalasa finial. Examples of such dilapidated deuls are still standing at Satdeula (in Bardhaman), Bahulara and Sonatapal (in Bankura), and Deulghat (in Purulia). On the brick deuls already mentioned here, plus Jatar (in 24 Parganas) and Para (in Purulia), "we find extensive and remarkably fine stucco work on carved brick".[2]

Highlights

This brick-built temple shows the features of the Nagara style.[1] The ground plan is pancha-ratha, surmounted by a curvilinear tower.[1] The temple has stucco works over carved bricks.[1] Jaina sculptures found at the place may indicate that it belonged to the Jaina faith and the temple is datable to c. 10th-11th century AD.[1] P.C. Dasgupta, in the Jain Journal 7/3: 130- 132, 1973, mentions Sat deuliya as a rare Jain icon.[3] In the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal it is mentioned as a Jain brick temple.[4]
