The Kantajew Temple, also called the Kantanagar Temple, stands in Dinajpur District in northern Bangladesh. It is a Hindu temple dedicated to Krishna and his wife Rukmini. Raja Pran Nath began building it in 1704, and his son Raja Ramnath finished it in 1752, though another source gives 1722 as the date of completion.
It was built in the navaratna style, meaning nine spires, and is one of the most notable examples of terracotta architecture in Bangladesh. Terracotta decoration covers the columns near the entrance and the exterior walls. Other features include wide multi-cusped arches, a prominent central archway and bulbous domes on octagonal drums.
The 1897 earthquake destroyed all nine spires. The temple is associated with the Rash mela festival. The Nayabad Mosque is said to have been built by the temple's architects for their own use.
