Places
Rajpat
Ruins of the palace of Khen rulers dated to the 14th-15th century CE. Excavations have surfaced many artefacts. It is said that a sage had cursed the palace, which made it slowly go down the surface. Rajpat or Kamtapur Fort is an archaeological site in present-day Gosanimari in the Dinhata I CD block in the Dinhata subdivision of the Cooch Behar district in West Bengal, India.
Kamteswari Temple
There have been various opinions about who built the temple because both the Khen and the Koch dynasties were worshippers of the goddess Kamteswari. It is now accepted that the original temple was destroyed and the present temple was built by Maharaja Pran Narayan of Cooch Behar in 1665. The main temple roof has been built in the Bengal cār cālā style having a curved cornish with a circular dome atop. There are two entrances to the temple, the main entrance being on the west and another on the north. There is a nahabatkhana at the main entrance to the temple.
