The bandhs
Large rectangular reservoirs dug under the Malla dynasty are spread across the town, forming sharp-edged water shapes that give the map its structure.

The map
About this Bishnupur map poster
Bishnupur lies in the Bankura district of West Bengal, on red laterite ground at the edge of the Chota Nagpur plateau. The town is known for its large reservoirs, called bandhs, which were dug under the Malla kings. On a map they appear as clean rectangles of water surrounded by lanes and houses, giving the town a very distinctive pattern.
The Malla rulers also built the terracotta temples that made Bishnupur famous: brick shrines covered in carved panels, as well as the stepped Rasmancha and several laterite temples. The town is also known for Baluchari silk saris and for its own school of classical music, the Bishnupur gharana.
A Bishnupur map poster shows those layers together. There are the reservoirs, the lanes winding between the temple sites, and the newer roads at the edges. It is a small town, but the plan has a character that comes directly from its long history as a royal seat.

Terracotta temples
Brick temples with carved terracotta panels, together with the pyramid-shaped Rasmancha, stand among the lanes and made Bishnupur one of Bengal's best-known heritage towns.
Red earth plains
The town sits on laterite ground at the edge of the plateau, with fields and scattered woodland beyond the streets and water.

Why Bishnupur
A map that means something
Bishnupur has a strong identity: temples, silk, music. A map of it suits anyone connected to the town or to Bengal's heritage. The shapes of the reservoirs make it recognisable even to someone who knows the place only from a visit.
