Bishnupur, Bankura, West Bengal · 23.0808°, 87.3277°
Built in 1659 by Raghunath Singha Dev of Mallabhum in the Khar Bangla quarter of Bishnupur, this is one of only two at-chala temples in the area, its eight-section roof broken by a narrow band that reads almost as char-chala. The small east-facing shrine, about 6.4 by 6.2 m and 10.7 m high, is an ASI Monument of National Importance.
