Shib Bari, Khulna

Near the Khulna Railway Station and 5 no. customs terminal of the Rupsha River is a twin Shiva or Shib Temple. It is believed that during the 1104 Bengali Year, Sri Krishna Ram Basu established these temples, which make them over 300 years old. And because of this Shib Temple, the Shib Bari name came up.

Shib Bari is not a specific location. However, the Shib Bari area guide will tell you that it is located in the SonadangaUp Upazila and Kotwali Thana, under the Khulna City Corporation’s ward no. 17. The Shib Bari Mor or circle, which is located around 1 kilometer from the Shib Temple, is one of the most important and bursting points of the Shib Bari location.

The Shib Bari Mor is known for being a commercial and business zone. Many types of businesses have grown over the years, centering around the Mor. From travel and tour guides and shopping centers to community centers and government offices, the area offers access to all the necessary amenities.

There are several bus stops, and buses travel from Shib Bari Mor to various other routes. You can also take rides in rickshaws, CNGs, autorickshaws, etc. Trucks and other large vehicles can also easily access the roads through this area. On top of that, the Khulna Railway Station is right around the corner from there.

Other than the temple or the circle, people can travel to the area and visit the Khulna Divisional Museum, BIWTA Launch Terminal, Sangeeta Cinema Hall, and the Rupsha River itself. Though urbanization robbed the area of greenery, Shib Bari and its nearby areas have transformed into one of the sought-after locations for housing and commercial spaces.
