Kantajew Temple, also known as Kantaji Temple, is a stunning example of late medieval Hindu architecture located in Dinajpur Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh. Constructed in the mid-18th century by Maharaja Pran Nath, the temple is renowned for its exquisite terracotta embellishments that depict scenes from Hindu mythology. The three-story structure originally featured nine spires, although these were damaged during an earthquake in 1897. Despite this, the temple remains a significant cultural and historical site, attracting visitors with its intricate carvings and rich historical significance.
