What you can expect

  • 730 AM Departure from Kolkata
    1015 AM- Bishnupur tour
    We step back to the 17th century and enter the world of the Malla Kingdom and its terracotta temples. We visit a slew of temples dedicated to Lord Krishna, the patron god of the Malla Kingdom. Our guide will tell you the story of how a tyrannical Malla King converted to Gaudiya Vaishnavism and how that provided the impetus for terracotta art to flourish in the 16th and 17th-century in Bishnupur.
    Among other temples, we will also visit Rasmancha, the first temple constructed by the King Bir Hambir. It is a quaint pyramidal structure marked by huge, stepped masonry and a composite Chala type roof, designed as a stage.
    We next head to visit weavers of the famous Baluchuri style silk sari. We will get to experience how the saris are created on draw looms. It will be fascinating to see the intricate art of weaving ‘Ramayana’ scenes woven all over the saree border.
    730PM- Drop back to hotel in Kolkata
