The temples
Arranged in a quadrangle, enclosed within a high wall in the Brindaban Chandra Math, are the four temples dedicated to Chaitanyadev (Chaitanya-Nityananda), Brindabanchandra (Radha-Krishna and Jagannath), Ramchandra (Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman) and Krishnachandra (Radha-Krishna).

According to David McCutchion, the jor-bangla temple of Chaitanya in the Brindaban Chandra Math is the earliest Bangla-style  temple still standing. It was built during the reign of Akbar (1542–1605). The at-chala Brindabanchndra temple was built in 1801. The eka-ratna Ramchandra temple was built in the 17th century. The last temple has a rich terracotta façade.

The Bridaban Chandra Math complex at Guptipara is an ASI listed monument.
