Bishnupur Temples, the famous terracotta temples were built by the Malla rulers who were Vaishnavites during the 17th and 18th century in Bishnupur. An easily available alternate material was discovered by the architects due to the shortage of stones in the plains of Bengal that was Clay and a new form of temple architecture, terracotta temples came to light. The Malla kingdom ruled in Bishnupur for around 800 years and during this time Jagat Malla and his descendants constructed numerous temples and structures (both of brick and stone) turning Bishnupur into a temple town. Some of them include Malleshwar temple, Lalji Temple, Radhashyam Temple, Jor-Bangla Temple, Rasmancha, Madanmohan Temple, Pancha Ratna Temple, and Mrinmayee Temple. Among them, Rasmancha is the oldest brick temple.
