English: Terracotta panels of charchala temple of Raghunathjee at Ghurisha village in Birbhum district
Founded by late Raghunath or Raghuttam Bhattacharya in 1633 (1040 as per Bengali Calender), this temple was initially dedicated to Lord Rama. The east facing temple is considered to be one of the earliest brick built temple of Birbhum. It is said that once it housed a golden image of Rama, which was purloined by the Maratha raiders during the middle of eighteenth century. One gentleman named Rammoy Panchatirtha renovated the temple as a Shiva Temple in 1964 as is evident from some lines written in Sanskrita in a plaque on the western wall of the temple. |
