Tales of terracotta
The New Indian Express Chennai
|November 27, 2025
West Bengal's Bishnupur houses ancient art, heritage silk saris, serene spots amidst its bustling lanes and a culture that is worth exploring this winter...
BISHNUPUR, the iconic town that holds centuries of history, weaves many written and unwritten stories through its bustling streets, serene spaces and a close-knit community, making it a repository of heritage with its timeless relationship to terracotta. It exists now as if it were a chapter ripped directly from a novel following a winter tale.
We recently went on a trail across the city to get a peek at the many terracotta temples alongside a few other spots that made this destination an offbeat option for you, as winter sets in if you are in West Bengal.
