Question
What are the important architectural features of the temples of Bengal?
Short Note
Solution
Important architectural features of the temples of Bengal are:
- Temples began to copy the double-roofed or four-roofed structure of the thatched huts.
- In the comparatively more complex four-roofed structure, four triangular roofs placed on the four walls move up to converge on a curved line or a point.
- Temples were usually built on a square platform.
- The interior was relatively plain but the outer walls of many temples were decorated with paintings, ornamental tiles or terracotta tablets.
