Puthia Temple Complex
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Puthia_Temple_Complex an entity of type: SpatialThing
Der um einen See herum angeordnete Tempelbezirk von Puthia im Distrikt Rajshahi, Division Rajshahi, nahe dem nur wenige Tausend Einwohner zählenden Dorf Puthia zählt zu den bedeutendsten erhaltenen Monumenten aus der Zeit der regionalen Dominanz des Hinduismus. Während viele Hindu-Tempel im überwiegend muslimischen Bangladesch (früher Ostbengalen) im Laufe der Zeit zerstört wurden, sind die Bengalischen Tempeln von Puthia noch bemerkenswert gut erhalten. Heute werden sie als bedeutendes nicht-islamisches kulturelles Erbe Bangladeschs angesehen. Längere Zeit waren sie allerdings vom Verfall bedroht.

The Puthia Temple Complex consists of a cluster of notable old Hindu temples in Puthia Upazila, Rajshahi District, Bangladesh. Located 23 km to the east of Rajshahi city, it has the largest number of historic temples in Bangladesh. The temples were built by Hindu Zamindars Rajas of the Puthia Raj family who were noted philanthropists of Rajshahi. The temples have been built in terracotta in a variety of styles combining the typical Jor-bangla architecture with other influences. The Rajbari or Palace of the Raja of Puthia and the Dol Mancha are part of the complex. The temples are laid out around a lake with a sprawling lawn.

The Rajbari or Palace of the Raja of Puthia and the Dol Mancha are part of the complex. The temples are laid out around a lake with a sprawling lawn. The Puthia Raj family was established by a holy man named Bhatsacharya, who lived in the 16th century. Raja Man Singh, governor of the Mughal emperor Akbar, confiscated the Jagir of the refractory pathan jagirdar of Rajshahi named Lashker Khan and bestowed the Zamindary on the saintly Bhatsacharya for his learning, but he declined. However, his son Pitambar was granted the Lashkarpur estate permanently. On his death, his son Nilambar received the title of Raja from Emperor Jahangir. The Puthia Royal Family estate was the second largest zamindary and the wealthiest in British Bengal. After India's partition, the then Pakistani government abolished the zamindary system and confiscated all Hindu properties. The Royal Family migrated to India shortly afterwards.
