History Of Sridhara Temple
Bishnupur, West Bengal, India
The Sridhara Temple is a unique and lesser-known gem among the famous terracotta temples of Bishnupur. Built in the 19th century by the Basu Family, this temple stands out due to its distinctive Pancha-bingshatiratna style, which translates to "twenty-five pinnacles" or peaks. While some sources ref er to it as Nava-Ratna (nine spires), the original design featured 25 spires, a testament to the ambitious vision of its builders. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, worshipped in the form of Sridhar or Shaligram. The temple's exterior and interior are a canvas of exquisite terracotta work, with intricate carvings and sculptures that narrate tales from Hindu epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The detailed panels showcase a variety of themes, including deities, mythological figures, and scenes of daily life, offering a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and cultural heritage of the Malla dynasty period. Despite being a later addition to the town's temple landscape, its architectural grandeur and detailed craftsmanship make it a significant historical and religious site. The temple's serene and less-crowded atmosphere provides a tranquil space for visitors to appreciate the artistry and spiritual ambiance.
