Radhakanta Temple

Ward No. 81, Kolkata Municipal Corporation, West Bengal

The Radhanath Temple in Chetla, India built between 1796 and 1807 by Babu Ramnath Mondal of the Bawali Raj family, is one of the most prominent heritage temples along the old Adi Ganga. Designed in the traditional nabaratna (nine-pinnacled) Bengal temple architectural style and rising nearly 100 feet, it once formed part of a flourishing riverside cultural landscape of ghats, pathways, and zamindari estates. The temple houses the black-stone idol of Radhakanta along with astadhatu idols of Radha and Lakshmi-Narayan, and originally included a nat-mandir and a now-collapsed rasmancha used during festivals.
