Lalji Temple
লালজী মন্দির
A single-spired laterite temple built in 1658, set within a spacious walled courtyard, with elegant and simple stucco decoration.
Lalji Temple was built in 1658 by King Bir Singha II. Made of local laterite stone, it is a single-spired temple dedicated to Radha and Krishna. Compared with brick terracotta temples, its exterior relies mainly on stucco and stone carving and has cleaner lines. The courtyard is wide, and the surrounding walls and gatehouse have been preserved, so the setting is peaceful. The temple complex is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and a combined ticket (about 300 rupees for foreigners) covers major temples including Rasmancha, Jor Bangla and Shyamrai. It stands next to the Radha Shyam and Mrinmoyee temples, so all three can be visited within a short walk of each other.
