The Dhakeshwari temple was built in the 12th century by Ballal Sen, a king of the Sena dynasty, and many say the city was named after this temple. It is considered an essential part of Dhaka's cultural heritage.
Since ages, the temple has been held in great importance. The original 800-year-old statue was taken to Kumartuli, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. There remains the replica of an original idol in Dhaka.
Within the premises of the Dhakeswari there are temples of two types of architecture. The ancient one is of the Poncharotna Goddess Durga's which lost its actual look after the renovation work.
Every day lots of devotes gathered this temple everyday. The temple opens at the morning 7 am and closing on 9 pm. But 2pm to 4pm temple is closed for maintenance.
