Kantanagar Temple, commonly known as Kantaji Temple, which is a late-medieval Hindu temple, is an example of beautiful terracotta architecture in Bangladesh.

The eye-catching temple is located in the northern Dinajpur district, some 338 km northwest of the national capital Dhaka. It once had nine spires, but all were destroyed in an earthquake in 1897.
