DINAJPUR - OLD ORNAMENTAL TEMPLE TOWN

The northern most district of the country, offers a number of beautiful places to the visitors. The Ransagar (great sea) lake with relax houses is a good picnic places having facilities for fishing and rowing in a serene and silence green countryside environment. Kantanager temple, the most ornate among the late medieval temples of Bangladesh is placed near Dinajpur town. It was build by Maharaja Pran Nath in 1752 A.D. Every inch of the temple surface is wonderfully embellished with exquisite terra-cotta plaques, representing flora, fauna, geometric motifis, mythological scenes and an astonishing array to contemporary social scenes and favorite pastimes. The Maharaja's palace with relics of the past centuries and local museum are worth a visit.
