In its heyday, long before it was partitioned multiple times to reach its current truncated form, Bengal was a land of glorious temples. Some of those still exist, albeit in a state of decay, despite a degree of state protection. Hidden Heritage Art is proud to present this work, by talented artist Anjana Datta, that aims to showcase a set of such temples that survive.

‘Ten Temples of Bengal” is created on handmade paper, in the Patachitra style giving a back support with cloth. Size is 4 x 3.
