Madan Gopal Temple
মদনগোপাল মন্দির
A five-spired laterite temple donated by a queen in 1665; one of the largest in Bishnupur, it is rarely visited.
Built in 1665 by Queen Shiromani, wife of King Bir Singha II, the temple imitates the five-spired style of Shyamrai Temple but is constructed of laterite and is larger in scale. The four corner spires and the central tower are clearly layered, and the exterior has stucco reliefs. The temple lies to the west of town, surrounded by villages and rice paddies, with very few visitors, so you can look at the architecture in peace. It can be combined with Malleswar Temple and Murlimohan Temple in the north of town.
