Gopinath Temple is the oldest & largest temple of Bowali. A massive naba ratna (nine pinacled)temple. Built in 1794 by Manik Mondal. The temple is in dilapidated condition.( Sadly most of the temples of Bowali didn't survive the test of time). It is flanked by a Natmandir, whose roof have completely collapsed. Even today the Naba Ratna (nine - spired) Gopinath Temple still stands and so does the Jal Tungi (water folly), a strange octagonal structure located at a centre of a pond, where the Mondals once enjoyed the cool breeze.
