Art of Terracotta Temples of Murshidabad, Bengal

The beauty of the architecture, its unique style, the detail of the terracotta plaques on the walls that tell stories from the Hindu epics, the colors.. all fascinate me.

The roof with a curved sloping contour foxes me - how did they come up with this design? why did they come up with this complex contour? How did they manage to make it stable? 

Built by a wealthy zamindaress in the 1700s along the river Bhagirathi, these temples honor Lord Shiva. 

No words are needed - the visuals captured casually on a walking tour by my phone camera are sufficient!
