How to get there What it costs

Seasonal warning: Open year-round; winter is the most comfortable season.

Introduction

The largest cluster of historic Hindu temples in Bangladesh, built by the zamindars of the Puthia Raj family. The terracotta-decorated Pancha Ratna Govinda Temple, Bara Anhik, Jagannath (Rath) Temple and Bangladesh's largest Shiva temple stand around the Shyam Sagar lake, beside the 1895 Puthia Rajbari palace. It is the classic day trip from Rajshahi city.

Suggested time: half day

How to get there

About 23 km east of Rajshahi city on the Rajshahi–Natore highway; local buses and CNG autos run to Puthia bazaar, and the temple complex is a short walk from there. Confirm current fares before travelling.
