Brajmohan Krori, a tehsildar under the Nawab of Bengal, built this temple in the mid-19th century in the Kala Chand Para quarter of Pabna town. The structure joins two classical Bengali do-chala hut shapes, with the front chamber serving as an entrance porch and the rear housing the shrine. Terracotta relief tiles covering the brick facade depict epic episodes from the Ramayana alongside floral rosettes and geometric borders. The monument stands inside a protected brick boundary wall maintained by the Department of Archaeology.
