Begunia temples
This is a group of four temples, out of which two consists of a simple cell each, surmounted by a tower-roof and there are traces of a mandapa in front.[4]
There are four temples in one complex known as Begunia temples. The fourth temple, last from the entrance, seems to be the oldest and was built around 8th-9th century. It is amongst the oldest rekh-deul temples in West Bengal. Two other temples are dated around 14th-15th century. The temples have Shiva lingams and idols of Ganesha and Durga. Many stone idols have been discovered in the complex. Some are Vishnu idols but others are Jain idols, possibly belonging to the older fourth temple. Thereafter, it became a Shaivite centre and was also a Vaishnavite centre at some point of time.[5]
