Ruined temple of khaler 

Village shop

As per local people information there was gold idol of lord rama, but that was stolen twice and after that local people placed metal idol there.

This village is 8 km from Kharagpur railway station and best way to go there is motor bike. Kausalya more take right turn and go on the way to Benapur. After crossing benapur bus stand next bus stop is shyamalpur bus stand. From this bus stand you got a way toward right hand side to reach khaler Bonpatna here you can ask anyone about this temple.

 Village pond

From Shayamalpur you need to ride or walk in village road so it is better to ride in motor bike. Ponds and different water bodies are filled with water and lotus leaf covered the water. Best time to visit this place is winter to avoid muddy water in village road, but I prefer monsoon season to watch the beauty of village which give a beautiful look. You can feel and watch the beauty of village .Local people are engaged in there day to day work like cultivation, taking their animals to fields etc. Filled covered with grass and crops. Rice is the main crop of this region some farmers also cultivate flowers and mustard and different vegetables.

Most part of the temple was ruined and witness of their old glory but main temple is still maintained by local people.

There was no evidence in about the history of this temple but as per the local people this temple was build in 500 years ago. Architecture also likes the old architecture of Bengal, but I don’t have evidence or carbon dating for actual year.
