Brindaban Chandra's Math, Guptipara, Chinsurah

 














Brindaban Chandra's Math is a complex of 17th-18th century temples at Guptipara in the Balagarh CD block in the Chinsurah subdivision of the Hooghly district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Arranged in a quadrangle, enclosed within a high wall in the Bridaban Chandra Math, are the four shrines dedicated to Chaitanya, Brindabanchandra, Ramchandra and Krishnachandra.

According to David J. McCutchion[4] the jor-bangla temple of Chaitanya in the Brindaban Chandra Math is the earliest Bangla-style temple still standing. It was built during the reign of Akbar (1542-1605). The at-chala Vrindabanchndra temple was built in 1801. The eka-ratna Ramchandra temple was built in the 17th century. The last temple has a rich terracotta façade.

The Bridaban Chandra Math complex at Guptipara is a monument of national importance.
