Malleshwar Temple

Malleshwar Temple is a smaller stop on Bishnupur's temple circuit, notable for its base mouldings and a pair of carved stone elephants that flank its structure. Built during the Malla period, it does not carry the elaborate terracotta narrative panels seen on the town's larger temples, but its architectural details reward a closer look. It suits travelers with time to explore beyond Bishnupur's five or six headline sites.
