Reviews Of Maluti Temples

Dumka, Jharkhand, India
Maluti Temples are a magnificent collection of 72 surviving ancient terracotta structures that once numbered 108. Located in a remote village near the Jharkhand and West Bengal border, these temples represent a unique era of history under the Baj Basanta dynasty. The history of this place is fascin ating as it was a tax-free kingdom awarded to a poor Brahmin boy named Basanta Roy by the Sultan of Gaur. These temples were built between the 17th Century and 19th Century as the kings preferred building houses for gods over luxurious palaces for themselves. The village is often referred to as Gupta Kashi because of its spiritual significance and the density of religious structures in such a small area. The site is now recognized by the Global Heritage Fund as one of the most endangered cultural sites in the world. Visitors can see the intricate carvings that tell stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata in great detail. The village atmosphere is very calm and provides a step back in time for anyone interested in history and art. The temples are mostly dedicated to Lord Shiva but also include shrines for Kali, Durga, and Vishnu. The preservation of these temples is now a priority for the Archaeological Survey of India.
