[2] In the middle of the 18th century, the local zamindar Keshab Roychowdhury started the construction of the temple for the purpose of establishing and worshiping the Shiva-lingam.

Architecturally, features of the style include sloping roofs, pointed arches, kalash with trishul at the top; there are corridors on three sides of the garbhagriha.

It has a central chura or dome made of stalactite pendentive rising from the four corners of the walls of the nearly square garbhagriha.

The walls of the corridor and the garbhagriha are joined by sardals to provide additional strength to the temple structure.

As decoration, the walls mainly bear scenes of gods and goddesses, animals, foliage and dancing women.
