West Bengal

Bengal has played a considerable role in India’s history. From ancient times, when it was home to the bustling port city of Tamaralipti, which traded with the east Asian countries, righ up to the independence struggle in the early part of the 20th century, when it gave the nation intellectuals and freedom fighters like Raja Mohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda and Subbash Chandra Bose.

Unfortunately, as much as the state filled India’s coffers in terms of literature, art and music, its overall contribution to architecture has been arguably slight. The topography and climate of Bengal, like Kerala and Kashmit, and its distancing, due to geographical factors, from the evolution of the Nagara tradition, ensured the development of a unique indigenous style of religious architecture. However, frustratingly, just as in Kashmir few temples survive, so also in Bengal many ancient shrines have disappeared. In a region prone to flooding, where perishable construction materials like brick, clay and bamboo were largely used, it was only natural that buildings would be unable to withstand the vagaries of nature.
