Jor-bangla
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jor-bangla, also called yorubangala, is a style of temple architecture that arose in Bengal.[1] The style involves two structures that resemble the traditional village huts of the region, one that serves as a porch, in front of the other that serves as a shrine.[1] Each structure has a roof of the ek-bangla (or do-chala) style, with two curved segments that meet at a curved ridge.[2]
Notable examples
- Gopinath Jor-Bangla is a Hindu temple located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Pabna town in Bangladesh. There is no reliable information about the date when it was built, possibly in the 19th century.[3] It is one of the major archaeological attractions of the Pabna District.
- Bishnupur Jor-Bangla temple, built 1655 by King Raghunath Singha Dev. It is richly ornamented with terracotta carvings. The roof has the classic chala style of Bengal architecture.[4][5][6][7]
