On the left bank of the Shilabati, this five-spired (pancharatna) temple is a textbook example of the Bengali style and a useful contrast with Sarbamangala's Oriya idiom. Tradition credits its construction to Rajyadhar Roy, minister to the founding Bagri king Gajapati Singha. The terracotta panels are weathered but legible in places. Bring a torch as the interior is dim.
