The Raj Bari or the Royal palace
The most important landmark of this ancient princely state that stands regally is the magnificent Raj Bari or the palace of the kings. A bit outskirt from the main city, this huge structure looks even larger from the outside because of its spread eagle shape. Designed by an English architect, who was the favourite among the royalties of Kolhapur , Mysore and Baroda , the palace was built in 1887.


Buildings of Coochbehar
The kings of Coochbehar planned the city and built the administrative buildings around the huge lake called the Sagar Dighi. The Sagar Dighi is a huge tank which has been recently cleaned and cleared. A place for daily meetings and appointments, Sagar Dighi, is right in the centre of this small town. Boat rides and cool breeze around has made it all the more popular spot.


The Madan Mohan Bari
This more than a century old ancient golden-domed temple is one of the main attractions of Coochbehar. It stands on the north bank of Bairagi Dighi, a large lake situated in the heart of the Coochbehar town. Built in 1889 by Maharaja Nripendra Narayan, the structure of this temple is in Charchala style of Hindu architecture. Inside the temple is an idol of Madan Mohan, an incarnation of Lord Krishna and the royal deity.


Baneshwar Temple
Situated at a distance of about 10 km north of Coochbehar town, is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, known as the Baneshwar temple. The temple is reputed to date back to 1100 B.C. and has a Shiva lingam 10 feet below the plinth level. By the side of the main temple is another temple which has the idol of Ardhanarinateswar. On the occasions of Madan Chaturdashi and Dol Purnima this idol is carried temporarily to the Madan Mohan Temple of Coochbehar town, which has given the name of Movable Baneshwar.


The Kamateshwari temple
A fine example of 17th century Bengali temple architecture, the Kamateshwari Temple is a major attraction in the town of Gosanibari . Nearly 37 km. from Coochbehar, situated at a distance of about 8 km west of Dinhata railway station, original structure of the temple got destroyed.
