Mrinmayi Temple
The Mrinmoyee Temple, also known as the Mrinmayee Temple, is located in Bishnupur, Bankura, West Bengal. It is one of the oldest temples in the region, established by King Jagat Malla in 997 AD.
The temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga, worshipped here as Maa Mrinmoyee. According to local history, the king was instructed in a dream by Maa Mrinmoyee to build the temple.
The Mrinmoyee Temple is known for its rich heritage and the oldest Durga Puja in Bengal, which has been celebrated for over 1000 years. The festival involves the worship of "Baro thakurani," "Mejo thakurani," and "Choto thakurani," and includes a cannon firing and vegetable sacrifice on Mahastami-Sandhipuja.
The temple does not have the terracotta adornments common to other temples in Bishnupur, but it remains a significant cultural and religious site.
