Der zentral gelegene Sakralbau stammt vermutlich aus dem 11. Jahrhundert. Dieser älteste Hindu-Tempel in der Stadt ist der zehnarmigen Göttin Dhakeshwari gewidmet und vermutlich der Namensgeber Dhakas.
Der Tempelbau liegt in der Dhakeshwari Road und befindet sich knapp 500 m südwestlich der Salimullah Hall der University of Dhaka. Es gibt ein monumentales Eingangstor, das Nahabatkhana-Tor.
