This is one of the ancient (about 250 years old) Royal Family's place known as Bhukailash Rajbari in Kolkata ,India. It was Raja Joynarayan Ghoshal who had shifted his whole kingdom from Fort William (later the name was given by the British) to this place known as Kidderpore and built the world's largest Shiva Linga Temples (Rakta-Kamaleswar and Krishna-Chandreswar each statue of about 11 ft high). The "BhuKailash" name was given by Shadhok Ramprashad when he came over the place.The whole area was about 108 Bigha in 1781.Since then the whole property is still under Debottar Estate's possession,in the name of our Kulodebi Potitpaboni(Goddess of Bhukailash, the main Temple).
