The temple was built following the unique 'nava ratha' architecture technique
The archaeologists have found a seven-metre high brick structure and a 144-sq-metre solidly built platform with a square cell at the centre
The cell is supposed to be a sanctum where idols were worshipped
The outer walls of the temple has nine ratha (chariot) projections, which indicates towards the nava ratha technique of architecture
The temple is thought to be constructed between the 10th and the 11th century
The team had earlier discovered another old Hindu temple that belonged to the Pala Dynasty in Bengal
Prof Dipak Ranjan Das, former professor at the University of Calcutta, has reportedly said that the structure found in Bangladesh has the closest resemblance with the Siddeshwar Temple in Bankura, West Bengal
The team has reportedly documented around 1,000 archaeological sites in the Dinajpur-Joypurhat areas in Bangladesh, most of which belong to the medieval age.
