Kāmtāpur.—It is situated at a distance of about 19 miles to the south-west of the town of Cooch Behar. It is now in ruins. Dr. Buchanan Hamilton has left an interesting account of it in his Eastern India. According to him, Kāmtāpur was protected on three sides by an earthen rampart, about 20 to 40 ft. in height. The Kāmteśvarī temple which was very important was destroyed by the Pathans.
