Summary
| Description |
English: This monument, although called 'The temple of Ichhai Ghosh' or 'Ichhai Ghosher Deul' in local language (Bengali), bears no mark of any deity placed there. This ancient brick built monument was built by the river Ajay in present Bardhaman district of West Bengal, probably during 7th century AD by Ichhai Ghosh, a fierce leader and a real hero of the local milkman community, who even challenged the then king of Gour (Bengal) and defeated him in battle and proclaimed himself as the king of the local area of 'Trishasthi' or 'Dhekur' within the state of Gour. This monument was probably built to commemorate his win over the king of Gour or may be it was built as a temple of the goddess 'Mother Shyamarupa'. Ichhai was dedicated to the deity, though no sign remained afterwards. This is a part of history also described in the 'History of Bengali Literature' epic 'Dharmamangal'.
