Culture
The pancharatna Siddhanath Shiva temple at Dhaliabari is unique because of the attachment of some terracotta panels. It is probably the only temple in Cooch Behar district, and among the exceptional few in the northern part of West Bengal, to have some terracotta panels. There are four towers at the four corners of the curved roof, but the larger central tower is missing. The temple is 9.1 metres (30 ft) high and has a square base of 6.4 metres (21 ft).[5]
The temple has a mihrab, normally found in mosques. There are two possibilities for this: an attempt was made to convert it to a mosque during the short Muslim rule in the 18th century or it was included by the Muslim artisans as a matter of regular practice. Muslim architectural influence in Hindu temples is not totally unknown. Apart from the main Siddhanath Shiva Linga, Narayana-shila is also worshipped in this temple.[5]
There is some controversy regarding the construction of the Siddhanath Shiva temple. According to Madho Sarup Vats, of the Archaeological Survey, the temple was built during the rule of Raja Upendra Narayan (1714-1763) of the Cooch Behar State. However, historian Harendra Narayan Choudhury opined that the temple construction was initiated during the period of Raja Harendra Narayan (1780-1839) and completed by his son Raja Shivendra Narayan (1796-1849). In 1808, Dr. Buchanan Hamilton, also submitted a report. It can be said that Raja Upendra Narayan built the temple, and Raja Harendra Narayan and Raja Shivendra Narayan may have renovated it.[5]
The Siddhanath Shiva temple is a state protected monument.[6]
