About Us
The Malla kings were instrumental in the development of Bishnupur as a cultural hub. They patronized various forms of art, particularly the distinctive terracotta temples that still stand today, showcasing intricate carvings and sculptures.
The most famous temples, like the Rasmancha and the Jorbangla Temple, exemplify the unique brick-and-terra-cotta style of architecture. These structures often depict scenes from Hindu mythology and the life of Lord Krishna.
