bishnupur


here are exquisite temples in terracotta that lie on the edge of the city. with heavy bulging bases, they rise in the most unusual way into the sky. while a few of them are still used, most of them lie empty surrounded by the fences that the asi loves to place around buildings. the bada and the chota darwaza emphasize the emptiness that now exists in the city that once was. meanwhile, in the real city our route to panchmura took us past markets, homes and a line up of institutions that looked underutilized- a music school and a home for juvenile offenders.
