Summary

Description
English: Temple of Bhairab at Bindole in Uttar Dinajpur district. It is a brick temple of flat-roofed (with bent cornice) type with a round dome atop. It consists of a central chamber with a veranda on two sides supported on twin pillars with triple entrances. The two porches are not vaulted, but roofed by three domes, divided by arches as if of a mosque. It is an example of mosque design adapted to Hindu purposes. Built in circa 16th century A.D., this temple enshrines a stone sculpture of Marttanda Bhairava, stylistically belonging to circa 12th century A.D.

This is a West Bengal State Archeology protected monument.
