| |
| | |
| According to General [[Alexander Cunningham]], the founder of the [[Archaeological Survey of India]], Ambika Kalna was a frontier city of the [[Tamralipta]] kingdom during the 7th century A.D. At that time, a naval base was founded in the city during the reign of [[Shashanka]]. Kalna houses the only [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu|Chaitanya]] temple built in Sri Chaitanya's lifetime. It is the abode of pilgrimage for the [[Barnabites]]. It was a celebrated place during [[Mohammedan]] rule in the 15th century.<ref name=":0" />
| |
| | |
| The city reached its apex during the late 18th century under the patronage of the [[Bardhaman Raj|Maharajas of Bardhaman]], who built several temples with intricate [[terracotta]] ornamentation.
