What you can expect

Embark on a historical journey that explores the 17th century Malla Kingdom & its magnificent Terracotta temples, temples that are widely dedicated to the Hindu god, Krishna. What makes these temples unique is their structural design & pure reliance on clay & bricks materials. Listen more about such past wonders from your guide.

Enter one of the prominent temples, Malleshwar temple which was built by Bir Singha in 1622. Next up, enter Rasmancha temple which is known for its exquisite Chala-type roof style as well as pyramidal structure. The guide will tell you tales about the tyrannical Malla King who later on converted to Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

You’ll also hear the backstory of terracotta art in the region throughout the 1500s & 1600s. Bishnupur is famous for its aluchuri-style silk sarees. As the tour comes to its climax, you’ll be taken to local weavers where you can see their passion while crafting these sarees.
