Sridhar Temple is grand example of the rare panchabingshatiratna(twenty-five pinnacles or peaks) style.

Locals say that a rich devout weaver, Kanai Rudra wished to build a magnificent temple in honour of Lord Vishnu and employed Hari Sutradhar. He was instructed to build a temple with intricate terracotta panels that would rival those seen in the temple district of Bankura. Hari Sutradhar went about his task assiduously but when Kanai Rudra paid a visit to the temple on its completion, he was dissatisfied that the entire temple was not covered with terracotta.

Itis said that he conveyed the same to Hari and told him not to spare any expense and instead to make it more extravagant. Hari Sutradhar took this as the command of the Lord and painstakingly covered the entire temple structure with the most stunning terracotta work seen at that time.

The temple is built in three levels of twelve, eight, four and the central pinnacle making it twenty-five pinnacles. Unfortunately, these pinnacles are in a dilapidated state and the top portion of the central pinnacle has collapsed completely. The sanctum sanctorum has a Shaligram of Lord Sridhar.
