Bhuvaneswari Temple was built in between 1667 to 1676 AD during the reign of Maharaja Govinda Manikya. Constructed on a 3 ft high paved terrace, the roof features the typical ‘four-chala’ pattern with stupa like crowns on the vestibule and core chambers.

The historical importance of the temple is that the temple is immortalized in Rabindranath Tagore’s plays - ‘Rajarshi’ and ‘Bisarjan’.
