Description:
Govinda Temple, Puthia, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. This is a beautiful little two storied (do-chala) shrine behind the palace called Puthia Rajbari. It was erected between 1823 and 1895 by one of the maharanis(queen) of the Puthia estate. It's a large square structure crowned by a set of miniature ornamental towers. It's covered by incredibly intricate designs in terracotta depicting scenes from Hindu epics, which give it the appearance of having been draped by a huge red oriental carpet. September 6, 2006.
