History
This place was under Zemindari of Burdwan Maharaja [5] in British Era.There are two temple explored by Archeological Survey of India[5]- Bhandirban Gopal[6] Mandir and Bhandeswar Shiv Mandir situated in Bhandirban village.[5],.
Gopal Bari
Gopal Bari also known as Gopal Mandir is a temple dedicated to deity Krishna[6].[7]. Thestone plate on the temple credits the origin of the temple to the local legend, according to which a hermit Dhruv Goswami[8][9] while wandering at Bhandirban had placed on the ground, the twelve images of Gopal he was carrying. One of the images got stuck on the location where it was placed after which a temple was built at that location, by Ramnath Bhaduri[9][10] ,the Diwan of Murshidabad Nawab Muhhammad-Ul- Zaman Khan in the year 1754.[10][5] Fairs and festivals on the eve of Goshtashtami (also known as Gopashtami) are celebrated every year in the Bengali month of Kartik[11][9][10].
Bhandeswar Shiva Mandir
Bhandeswar Shiva Mandir is located behind the Gopal Mandir.[5][12] It was rebuilt by Ramnath Bhaduri.[citation needed][5]
"The style of architecture of the laterite stone temple built by Bhaduri is similar to the tall pyramida sikharal type, developed in the Radha country or south-west Bengal, the Ichai Ghosh Temple in Burdwan District and the Jatar Deul Temple in the Sundarbans being noteworthy examples, both prior in date to the present example by at least a century. The spire is about 45 feet high. The exterior surface of the temple is quite plain. The floor of the shrine is 5 feet lower than the level of platform, as is the case with many Saiva shrines. The enshrined linga is a natural boulder with the arghya built of stone masonry. To the right there is a stone image representing a four-handed goddess probably Durga, seated cross-legged, and holding a sword, trisula and lotus respectively in the lower right, lower left and upper left hands. At a short distance from the temple is a stone platform used in the dol festival of the neighbouring Gopala Temple."
