About this monument
Excavated by the University of Calcutta between 1956-57 and 1966-67, the site forms part of the fortified site of Chandraketu’s Fort and reveals occupational levels ranging from pre-Mauryan to Pala period. Particularly remarkable among the excavated remains is the foundation of a brick-built temple which was a near contemporary of the temple at Rakshakali, Chiruti, in the Murshidabad and is datable during the 6th-7th centuries A.D.
