The great Terracotta Art of 17th century! #Travel Diary

in Worldmappin4 years ago (edited)

Alright, guys, I am sharing my one of travel diaries from last year, 2020. Yes! it is a great historical place.
Bishnupur(a town in Bankura district, West Bengal, India).
It is famous for its terracotta temples. The town has a glorious past that is reflected in its rich architecture, handicrafts such as pottery. It was developed in the 17th century ruled by Hindu rajas of the Malla dynasty.

If you want to travel there, please prefer winter. I traveled there in summer times and experienced extremely hot and dusty air.
