Dhakeshwari Temple is a famous state-owned Hindu temple in Dhaka, Bangladesh built in the 12th century. The temple is located southwest of the Salimullah Hall of Dhaka University. Since the destruction of Ramna Kali Mandir in 1971 by the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War, the Dhakeshwari Temple has assumed status as the most important Hindu place of worship in Bangladesh. This image shows Shiva temple structures inside the Dhakeshwari Temple complex.
