Bisnupur, is a great historic place of West Bengal. It is the district capital of Bankura. It is a distance of 132 KM from Kolkata, the capital of west Bengal.
Bishnupur was ruled under the Gupta period by local Hindu kings. The place is also known as Mallabhum after the Malla rulers rules this area.
The Malla rulers built the famous terracotta temples during the 17th and 18th century at this place. The terracotta temples here are the best specimen of the classical style of Bishnupuriya architecture.
The patronage of Malla king VEER HAMBIR and his successors Raja RAGHUNATH SINGHA DEV and BIR SINGHA DEV made Bishnupur one of the principal centres of culture in Bengal. Most of the exquisite terracotta temples for which town is justly famous were built during this period.
