==History==<br />
===Personal life===<br />
Durjan Singha Dev, the son of Bir Singha Dev, was the opposite of his father. He was not at all cruel; on the contrary, he had a very gentle, polite character. He was logical, kind hearted and also pious. He established Madan Mohan temple. During his period several [[Portuguese East India Company|Portuguese]], [[French East India Company|French]], [[Dutch East India Company|British]] traders came to this place. He was on the one hand a Vaishnava devotee and on the other hand a great warrior.{{Sfn|Dasgupta|Biswas|Mallik|2009|p=26}}<br />
