Jor Bangla Temple

Good

Heritage of Old bengal. Intricately intricate terracotta work keep you spellbound. Best places to stay just a block away Annapurna and Tourist Lodge.

Loved it. One of the marvels created by the kings of Mallabhum now known as Bishnupur. One of the most vibrant Mandirs of West Bengal. Has a blend Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. Very well maintained. One of the architectural marvels of Bishnupur

Jorbangla temple was established by Malla king Raghunath Singh in 1655. The temple is one of the exceptional examples of the terracotta art of West Bengal and owns a unique architectural structure. The temple is named as “Jorbangla” because of its special “Do Chala” shape.nnThe temple has its roof along with double-sided curved thatch, known as porch and shrine respectively, joined together. See the detailed sculptures of terracotta portraying multiple scenes from Mahabharata, Ramayana, Krishna’s childhood on its walls and get amazed.nnThe panels decorated with terracotta-tales beautifully depict epic scenes like ‘Bhisma’s Sarasajya’, ‘Marriage of Ram-Sita’, ‘Maa Parbati with her two sons’, ‘Balgopal’s activities’, ‘story of Laxman and Surpanakha’ and many more.

It's a place full of amazing Terracotta Architecture..
