The at-chala is a superstructure duplicated by the char-chala, one above the other. The char-chala architecture has a sloped roof on all the four sides and the top is a pointed structure if the base is square and a ridge if rectangular. Krishna-Raya Temple can be easily accessed from Kolkata by road. The nearest railhead is Kanchrapara Railway Station.
