Location

Guptipara is 74.6 km from Howrah station on the Howrah-Katwa line.[1]

Those travelling by road from Kolkata can get on to State Highway 6 from somewhere suitable in Howrah district, and travel to Guptipara via Jirat.[2]

Note: The map presents some of the notable locations in the subdivision (partly). All places marked in the map are linked in the larger full-screen map.

The temples

Arranged in a quadrangle, enclosed within a high wall in the Brindaban Chandra Math, are the four temples dedicated to Chaitanyadev (Chaitanya-Nityananda), Brindabanchandra (Radha-Krishna and Jagannath), Ramchandra (Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman) and Krishnachandra (Radha-Krishna).[3]

According to David McCutchion,[4] the jor-bangla temple of Chaitanya in the Brindaban Chandra Math is the earliest Bangla-style temple still standing. It was built during the reign of Akbar (1542–1605). The at-chala Brindabanchndra temple was built in 1801. The eka-ratna Ramchandra temple was built in the 17th century. The last temple has a rich terracotta façade.[3]

The Bridaban Chandra Math complex at Guptipara is an ASI listed monument.[5]
