Deulghata
দেউলঘাটা
An ancient brick temple complex on the banks of the Kangsabati River. Surviving spires and riverside scenery complement each other, and a newly built river bridge offers a nearby viewpoint.
The site lies on the Kangsabati River in Arsha block. More than a dozen temples once stood here; two or three tall brick spires survive, and stucco reliefs remain on some outer walls. A small shrine to the goddess Durga still attracts worshippers. The riverbanks are open, and in winter you can walk on the sandbars and watch the sunset. Deulghata is about 30 km from Purulia town and can be visited on the way to or from Ayodhya Hills.
