Religious Places
- Koncheswar Mahadeva Lingam Temple: Koncheswar Mandir brings to mind the image of the Mahabodhi temple at BodhGaya. Temple was built in 8th century A.D(Moreover, tradition points to Bhairavendra, who lived about 1459 A.D., as the builder of the Konch temple). The temple is built of properly shaped, well-burnt bricks though of different sizes. Some bricks measure 11" X 5½" X 2¾", some 9" X 4¾" X 2¾" and others 13" X 7½" X 2¾". The use of different types of bricks is, perhaps, an indication that the temple has undergone extensive repairs from time to time, as held by Cunningham and Beglar of the Archaeological Survey of India. J.D. Beglar, Assistant Archaeological Suryeyor at that time, had visited the place during 1872-73 and he has mentioned in his report(1878)that the tower was surmounted by a cylindrical pinnacle as in the case of the temple of BodhGaya. This pinnacle had a hemispherical top. The Koncheswar temple is representation of the Dashavataras. The most interesting piece inside the shrine is a panel sculpture of the Dashavataras representing Vishnu. This temple of Shiva worship is clearly of Brahmanical origin.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or places:
“Friendship demands a religious treatment. We talk of choosing our friends, but friends are self-elected. Reverence is a great part of it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
