Saraswati Gyan Mandir

Saraswati Gyan Mandir is the central temple of University of Chittagong. In 2011, the then university administration allocated land adjacent to the university’s Gate No. 2 for the construction of the temple. On 4 February 2019, the work of laying the full foundation stone began on nearly 20,000 square feet of land. The main structure of the temple was fully financed by the Adul-Anita Foundation. Later, on 20 April 2026, on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, the temple was inaugurated and the sacred deities were consecrated. It is the first and only “Saraswati Gyan Mandir” in Bangladesh.
