A Shaiva pilgrimage temple at Medda in Brahmanbaria, built about two centuries ago by the sculptor Durgacharan Acharjee on land given by Noor Muhammad, a landlord of Sarail. Its 28-foot image of Kal Bhairab is claimed to be the largest of its kind, and images of Kali and Parvati stand alongside.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The sculptor Durgacharan Acharjee is said to have been moved by a dream to shape the great earthen image of Kal Bhairab.
