বাংলা: দিনাজপুর জেলার কান্তনগর মন্দির উপ-মহাদেশের মন্দির স্থাপত্যের একটি অপূর্ব নিদর্শণ। দিনাজপুরের প্রখ্যাত জমিদার মহারাজা প্রাণনাথ ও তার পোষ্য পুত্র রামনাথ ১৭০৪- ১৭৫২ খৃষ্টাব্দে এ মন্দির নির্মাণ করেন।

পঞ্চাশ ফুট বর্গাকৃতির ত্রিতল বিশিষ্ট ইটের তৈরী এ মন্দিরটি একটি উঁচু মঞ্চের উপর নির্মিত। এটি একটি নবরত্ন মন্দির। মম্দিরের নিচতলার ছাদ ও দ্বিতলের ছাদের চারকোণে চারটি করে আটটি অলংকঢৃত চূড়া বা রত্ন এবং ত্রিতলরে ছাদের মধ্যস্থলে আছে বৃহদাকারের কেন্দ্রীয় চুড়ার ধ্বংসাবশেষ। মন্দিরের বাইরের দেয়ালজুড়ে পোড়ামাটির ফলকে ফুটিয়ে তোলা হয়েছে রামায়ণ, মহাভারত, বিভিন্ন পৌরাণিক কাহিনী এবং তৎকালীন সামাজিক জীবন ও বিনোদনের চমৎকার চিত্র।

কথিত আছে যে এই মন্দিরের দেয়ালে হিন্দুধর্মের ৩৩ কোটি দেবতার সকলের ছবি রয়েছে।
