Question

What are the important architectural features of the temples of Bengal?

Answer 1

Important architectural features of the temples of Bengal are:

• Temples of Bengal began to copy the double-roofed structure of the thatched huts.
  
• In a comparatively more complex four-roofed structure, four triangular roofs were placed on the four walls to 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.
