Twine Shiv Mandir at Teacher Student Center(TSC), Dhaka University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

These two moth or spire type temples are located near the abundant swimming pool of TSC, Dhaka University. They have beautiful stucco decoration on their walls. According to the architectural characteristics, these temples are similar to those common types of temples built from the 19th century and appear to have been inspired by the spires of the European churches initiated in the Gothic Cathedrals.  This place is currently not permitted to entry.
