Bishnupur was found by king Raghunath 1 of the Malla dynasty. It flourished as the capital of the Mallas till the early 19th century. Since there are no stones available in the area and in the proximity, the traditional building material used here was brick. The exquisite craftsmanship of the terracotta artisans is evident in the terracotta temples of Bishnupur. Facing a shortage of stones to build temples, the Malla kings built grand terracotta shrines to celebrate their love for Lord Krishna. The distinctive architecture has incorporated various styles from the neighbouring regions. Bricks and terracotta along with features like the curved “Bangla” roof have been blended with multi-lobed arches. The potters here derive their inspiration from the glorious history of kings and their royal and common subjects. Bishnupur is also known for silk (tussar), particularly the Baluchari sarees. Woven on unusual ‘punch-card’ looms, these sarees have episodes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana woven into the border and pallu.
