Dubrajpur

Dubrajpur lies in Birbhum, where the western Bengal plain meets rocky uplands. Granite outcrops known as Mama Bhagne rise beside the town, their great boulders forming a striking landmark above the surrounding country. The town’s brick shrines are dedicated to Shiva. Several stand in groups, their façades decorated with terracotta figures and geometric designs, examples of the craftsmanship found in the temples of Bengal.
