This painting was made by me recently inspired by the architecture of Bishnupur .Bishnupur is famous for its terracotta temples. Apart from being a heritage city is also the manufacturer of one of the most expensive saris in India. These Saris are created by the artistic craftsmen of this city. When I visited the city I was completely spellbound by its beauty and rich cultural heritage. I painted this beautiful   temple I visited there.
