Empowered to identify, restore, and maintain the ancient monuments and cultural legacy of West Bengal.
The Centre For Heritage Development (CHD) was established under the administrative support of the West Bengal Heritage Commission. Our core mandate is to serve as the prime guardian for the conservation and protection of ancient Hindu temples, sacred ponds, religious art forms, and heritage landscapes across the state.
We work in collaboration with traditional master artisans, archaeologists, structural engineers, and local temple trusts. Through this, we ensure that historic sites from the terracotta period of Bankura to the stone shrines of Midnapore are chemically and structurally preserved using cutting-edge conservation technology without disturbing their original spiritual atmosphere.
We strictly preserve the original styles of Atchala, Jor-Bangla, and Deul temple forms using native materials like lime-surki mortar.
Our focus includes traditional practices like Vedic chanting, Tol schools, Sanskrit manuscript documentation, and festive community pujas.
The Centre for Heritage Development pursues key objectives under state commission guidelines.
Locating unregistered, ancient, or neglected Hindu temples and sacred shrines in remote areas of West Bengal for state protection.
Employing chemical washes, moisture treatment, and structural consolidation using traditional recipes and materials.
Assisting government departments in creating eco-friendly tourist facilities and pilgrim shelters around Hindu heritage hubs.
