Puthia has the largest number of historically important Hindu structures in
Bangladesh. The most amazing of the village's monuments is the Govinda Temple,
which was erected between 1823 and 1895 by one of the maharanis of the Puthia
estate.
The temple is simply stunning even now after all these years.
It is covered by incredibly intricate designs in terracotta depicting scenes
from Hindu epics, which gives the structure a different look.
The Siva Temple is a lasting example of stunning temple architecture, coming
from the influence of north India. The temple is decorated with stone carvings
and sculptural works, which unfortunately were disfigured during the War of
Liberation.

It’s a large square structure crowned by a set of miniature ornamental
towers. It’s covered by incredibly intricate designs in terracotta depicting
scenes from Hindu epics, which give it the appearance of having been draped by a
huge red oriental carpet
The ornate Siva Temple is an imposing and excellent example of the five-spire
Hindu style of temple architecture common in northern India. The ornate temple
has three tapering tiers topped by four spires. It’s decorated with stone
carvings and sculptural works, which unfortunately were disfigured during the
War of Liberation. The village’s 16-century Jagannath Temple is one of the
finest examples of a hut-shaped temple: measuring only 5m (16ft) on each side,
it features a single tapering tower, which rises to a height of 10m (33ft). Its
western facade is adorned with terracotta panels of geometric design.
