Dhakeshwari temple
Dhakeswari Temple is the most important
temple of Dhaka. The temple is located in a small ambient wall on the northern side of Dhakeswari Road, approximately 1.6 kilometers south-west of Salimullah Hall. There is a lion gate to enter the temple premises. The lion is called Nahabatkhana Arcane.
According to legend, a king named Balall Sen, the builder of the temple. But there is considerable difference between whether the Ballal Sen is the famous king of the Sen dynasty. Some people claim that the Dhakeswari statue and temples established here are under the rule of Maharaja Ballal Sen. But it is not acceptable considering the architectural construction strategy. Because of the reign of the Sena Dynasty before the arrival of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent, Bengal's architecture did not use the mixture of lime and sand as a mortar. But the Dhekseshwari temple is built on the high level of Chun-Bali sandstone, which is the architectural style of the Muslim period in Bengal.
