Deulghata, or ''Land of Temples,'' is located on the banks of the Kangsabati River in Purulia, West Bengal. It features ancient temples dating back to the 9th-11th centuries during the Sen and Pal Empires era. Originally a complex of more than 15 Jain temples, now mostly in ruins, the site showcases towering 60-foot brick Rekha-Deul structures decorated with intricate stucco carvings. The structures are of the Rekha-Deul style--a tall, mountain-peak shaped tower--with one standing at roughly 45 feet and another about 30 feet. They are built of thin, ancient bricks. Originally dedicated to Jain Tirthankaras, the temples now contain Shiva Lingas and are linked to Shaivite and Shakta traditions. Despite erosion, the terracotta work showcases ancient Bengal architecture and cultural history. The renovation of the temple is currently underway due to concerns about the risk of the old brick wall collapsing. Local tribal women worship at the temple, and after the worship, food is arranged free of charge for all visitors in Baram, Tunta, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 12, 2026.
