Para was probably capital of the [[Panchkot Raj]] at some point of time. It may also have been associated with some other royal establishment. However, what remains of its royal connections are three dilapidated temples (all the three are ''[[Deula|deulas]]''), one built of bricks, another built of stone and third one built of bricks and stone. Scholars date the brick temple as belonging to 10th-11th century. The stone temple, standing nearby, probably predates the brick temple. In the stone temple one can still see some of the intricate designs. It has a lot of similarity with another remarkable temple, located nearby, at [[Banda Deul|Banda]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://rangandatta.wordpress.com/2018/08/22/temples-of-para-purulia/ | title = Temples of Para, Purulia | first=Rangan| last= Dutta | publisher = Wordpress | access-date = 10 January 2020}}</ref>There is an 11th century rekha deul at Banda.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.asikolkata.in/purulia.aspx | title = Old temple at Banda (locally known as deul)| publisher = ASI, Kolkata Circle |access-date =  23 January 2020}}</ref>
