Bara Ahnik Mandir (Bengali: বড় আহ্নিক মন্দির) is a Hindu temple of the Puthia Temple Complex in Puthia Upazila, Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh. It stands next to Chauchala Chhota Govinda Mandir and faces east. It was built by the Rajas of Puthia. It follows a mixed form of Bengal temple architecture with a central Do Chala flanked with two Char Chala structures on both sides.[1] The only other of known existence of something similar type in Bangladesh being Rajaram Mandir in Faridpur District.[2][3][1]
