Banda Deul
বান্দা দেউল
A sandstone spire temple from around the 11th century. Its finely carved, Rekha-style tower stands alone among the fields and is one of the most complete ancient temples in Purulia.
The temple is built of sandstone and stands about 22 m tall, with fine carvings covering its tower. It belongs to the Odisha-style Rekha architectural tradition and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Quiet farmland and villages surround it, and it is usually very quiet. Nearby Chelia has a brick Radha Govinda temple. Banda Deul can be combined with Telkupi and Garh Panchkot in a single day trip.
