What you can see and do

The 18th-century Jor Bangla Temple in Dakshin Raghabpur, Pabna, is formed by two hut-shaped do-chala structures joined side by side. Terracotta plaques on the front wall show scenes from mythology. Though small, it is one of the few surviving examples of this distinctly Bengali temple form in the country.

How to get there

The temple is at Kalachandpara in Dakshin Raghabpur. It is a 10 to 15 minute rickshaw ride from the centre of Pabna town.

Safety notes

Do not climb on old walls or ruins or write on them; check the opening hours and closing days first.
