I swear, you will have a sudden blow, when you see its architectural presentation on your own eyes at the first moment,it is magnificent.... Awesome, these types of satisfying words will come out from your inner instinct. same types of feeling also had happened to me, when i first saw this temple several years back.Its thousands of beautifully decorated terracotta, color of the clay, long courtyard and more over the greenery of its peaceful surrounding will make you calm for a bit like the location itself.
The temple is about a 1 mile west of Dinajpur-Thakurgaon Highway across the Dhepa River.Various types commuters like Bus,Motor buke and Rickshaw Van can get you there within hours from the Town.You have to get off the bus at the Place called "Kantanagar", if you choose to walk and enjoy the country atmosphere,However the distance will be a bit more lengthy, if you are to get there via Auto/vehicle up to the temple, may be your family is with you, in that case, you need to travel a bit more further to the south from the Kantanagar point, and need aU-turn after just crossing the Vhatgaon Bridge.
