Kantojir Temple


Kantojir Mandir is a monument/temple found in Dinajpur. It was built by Maharaja Pran Nath in 1752. Today, the temple is one of the town's major tourist attractions. What makes this sight unique is the fact that it was built using thousands of terracotta tiles, each with a different picture. If you look at them one by one and in sequence, these tiles tell of Hindu epics. The people's lifestyle and significant events are also captured in the tiles.
