Neglected Temples of Bengal : (4) Durgeswar Shiv Temple

Durgeswar Shiv Temple

An example of the deviation from customary style of Atchala (8 roofed) tri-arched   Temple is Durgeswar Shiv Temple at Md. Ramjan Lane at Nimtala. Built in 1794,  this temple is west facing. Compared to its area coverage, the height is much out     of proportion, keeping with the massive size of the deity(Shivalinga).
