Summary

Description
English: Madan Mohan Temple is an Ekaratna Temple built on a laterite plinth and profusely decorated with ornamental bricks. This temple consists of a single tower on a square curved Bengal-type roof. It is enclosed by a high compound wall of bricks and a ruined Kirtansala on the south. The exquisite carvings on terracotta depict epic and Puranic episodes and Krishnalila as the main theme and the temple is one of the most elegant temples of Bishnupur. The inscription records its erection by the Malla King Durjan Singha in 1694 AD.

I clicked this photo on a sunny day in September with white clouds providing a classic background to this wonderful architecture. I shot it from an angle to get a good perspective of the temple.
