The village of Karnagarh contains the ruins of an ancient fort which is said to have been built by Raja Mahabir Singh about 500 years ago. There are many temples, among them two temples of Mahamaya and Daneswar, made of lateritic stones, are still visited by hundreds of worshippers from different parts of the country. Karnagarh was once the seat of the Medinipur Raj family for some time. in 1799 it was occupied by the Chuar rebels. The ruler of the fort at that time was Rani Shiromoni. The armed peasant rebellion, popularly Known as Chuar Bidroha, gave much trouble to the British colonial administration. The first wave of Chaur Bidroha took place outside Medinipur town, and it started around 1765. The wild races, that inhabited the Jangal Mahal of the Medinipur District and its adjoining western and northern forest-clad regions, were collectively called the chuars. They were looked upon by the British ruler as 'brute' and 'cruel' to such an extent that the word Chuar became synonymous with savagery and cruelty. In 1760, after the introduction of the British rule in Medinipur, the Paikan' land, the tax-free land of Chuars, was confiscated by the British government. The Chuars thus lost their means of livelihood and started an armed rebellion particularly in 1798 and 1799-1800. In 1800, under the leadership of Madhav Singha, they raided many places of Medinipur.

Being developed as a potential spot for devotees (deity said to respond to devoted prayers) and tourists. The place opens at 7 am every morning, closes at 1:30 pm afternoon and again opens at 4 pm and closes at 7 pm. The illumination is worth seeing after dark and hence recommended to reach the place in the afternoon and see the illuminated complex post dusk (see photos in evening).

Very ancient temple with good historical background

Very nice place to visit devi mandir. Here you can also get the facility of Prasad sevanam if you can book prior at the Mandir Office. Very beautiful and auspicious Mandir. One should visit this place at least once if you are staying adjacent to this place.

I visited several times to this place. It is a very good place. Three separate mandir inside. Lord Shiva, Devi Mahamaya, Devi Avaya. Paid parking also available inside the compound.

A historical place this is. Although ruins are there and newly but temples are present now, still it bears the Flavour of ancient rural Bengal. Named as Karnagarh, this is a place with some historical importance. Temple remain closed from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. Many people visit this place and offer their prayer.
