Madanmohan-jiu Temple is a temple in Mellock, near Samta in the Indian state of West Bengal and is locally known as Gopaler Mondir, which literally means the temple of Gopala. The temple is a large, beautiful, terracotta ornamented, dilapidated temple of Radha & Madangopal-jiu and was built in 1651 AD by a wrestler, Mukundaprasad Roychoudhury, who was a family member of the Roy Zamindars, who then ruled the village of Samta. It was earlier situated on the banks of the Rupnarayan River but now the river has changed its course. This is one of the largest atchala (roof with 8 slopes) temple in Bengal. Presently, the condition of the temple is derelict, however, the reconstruction has been started at present.
