S	Sayan Biswas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The temple is very much reputed for its architecture and of course, the deity. It's considered a very sacred place and thus, people from far off places come here for worshipping God. The temple itself is quite well maintained and the ambience adds to the general sense of well being that anyone visiting here can feel.

G	Gautam Banerjee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The village of Alangiri is near the town of Egra in south Medinipur. It is somewhat isolated but was a prosperous village in the 19th century. There are several terracotta temples here. Exceptional amongst these is the Raghunathji (Nabaratna) temple built by the Das family in 1810. This massive navaratna temple has triple-arched porches on three sides and is nearly 40 feet high, making it one of the largest temples in Medinipur. The Raghunathji temple was extensively renovated and painted sometime back but it retains many of its original and remarkable architectural and decorative elements. The turrets on its upper storey are fine rekha deuls and the stucco decoration on the arch panels of the upper shrine is crisp. Large terracotta figures and rampant lions, all modeled in the round, are placed on the parapets, some are perhaps original. Just outside the compound walls is Raghunatha’s octagonal navaratna rasmancha which has a large terracotta frieze of the Raslila below the cornice, stucco patterns on arch panels, and large terracotta figures on some faces, but its renovations and repainting are overdone.
