Banda Deul
There is a temple at Banda, which is described by the Archaeological Survey of India as a rekha deul of triratha variety in sandstone.[3] The temple is richly decorated, the themes being creepers, scroll work and stylised chaitya window.[3]The temple is datable to c. 11th century AD.[3]
In 1872, the archaeologist J.D.Beglar came across this temple, then covered with deep vegetation in a forest. The area around the deul was cleared and it started attracting attention. It is not clear whether it was a Hindu or a Jain temple. The ground plan is star shpaed.[3] Internally the cella is square with a rectangular Mukhamandapa.[3] The temple consists of a single cell and it once had a mandapa.[4]
The temple had a mandapa which has largely collapsed, However, eight pillars are still there supporting the cross beams. The temple has a water outlet with a makara (crocodile) head.[1]
According to the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal the old temple at Banda is an ASI listed monument.[5]
