Sri Sri Bura Shibdham, Dhaka South City Corporation

The history of Sri Sri Bura Shibdham spans several centuries. Historical records indicate that the original temple structure was established during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1605–1627 AD), making it nearly 500 years old.
The Patronage of the Maharaja of Burdwan:
In 1912, a devastating cyclone severely damaged the ancient structure. Seeing its ruined state, Sir Bijay Chand Mahtab, the Maharaja of Burdwan (West Bengal) and a member of the Governor's Executive Council of undivided Bengal, took the initiative to reconstruct the temple. An ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, the Maharaja used to stay at his royal guest house located right behind the temple—known as 'Burdwan House' (which is now the historic Bangla Academy building). During his time, even the royal family of Nepal visited this holy shrine upon invitation to offer their prayers.
The Tragedy of 1971:
During the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, the temple witnessed a dark chapter of brutality. The Pakistani occupation forces targeted this religious site, brutally massacring the chief priest (Sebait) and several saints who resided within the temple complex.
Legacy and Heritage:
The temple complex spans approximately 5,500 square feet built in the traditional 'Shikhara' style. It houses the sacred Samadhi (tomb) of Shri Monijananda, an ancient ascetic of this shrine. Another remarkable feature is a centuries-old well inside the courtyard, whose crystal-clear water is still used exclusively for daily deities' rituals and worship.
