Dol Mancha, Dasghara, Hooghly

 


The dolmancha is a temple-like structure on a raised platform, where the deities of Radha-Krishna are placed for worship on the occasion of Dol Purnima or Holi. The white octagonal rashmancha nearby, a larger temple with arches, houses the idols of Radha-Krishna for worship during the Rash festival on the auspicious day of Kartick Purnima.
