This beautiful #Brahmo temple at #Amragari in #Howrah. Brahmo Samaj here was founded by a small group of reformers led by Bhai Fakirdas Roy in 1882. They established a middle school & this temple despite stiff resistance from the villagers. The day of the inauguration met with protests from the village, and a part of the school was set on fire. Later the anger would subside as Bhai Fakirdas succeeded in making some influential villagers members of the Brahmo Samaj. In the 1890s, a charitable dispensary & a girl’s school was also added to the operations. However, the temple is now not in use anymore. In a brilliant example of adaptive reuse, it currently houses the office of the Panchayat. #DiscoverBengal with https://t.co/vkXR7CpmZw
