Existence of the temple is recorded in the “List of Ancient Monuments in Bengal”, published by the Public Works Department of the Bengal government in 1896. The publication records the fascinating origin legend of the temple. The linga, it says, is said to have been brought to the riverside from inside a small forest located some 400 yards to the east of the riverbank. The jungle, some ½ a mile in length and breadth, occupied a piece of land that was elevated from the surroundings by as much as 20 feet. The place was called “Deulpota” by locals at the time, who thought it was once a garden belonging to Baan Raja. “Bricks of small size and portions of brickworks” were scattered all over Deulpota, and in the centre of the jungle was a small pond, near which could be seen the ruins of a temple. The linga was apparently discovered within this ruined temple some 200 years before the publication of the book.There are multiple tales behind the name of the temple. One story is that when the temple was established by Baan Raja, it was the largest Shiva temple in south Bengal, and therefore came to be known as Dakshineswar or the Lord of the South. Another story is that Baan Raja’s queen was a certain Dakshina Devi, and since she was the one worshipping the linga, it came to be known as Dakshineswar, or the Lord of Dakshina Devi.But for all intents and purposes, the Dakshineswar Shiva temple, though historic, is neglected. Few visit it, and few worship there, apart from locals. Fewer still, remember that Ramakrishna Paramhansa himself had once offered prayers in this humble temple. Such is the fame of Rani Rashmoni’s Kali temple, that the temple which gave the village it’s name, has been all but forgotten.
