Culture

David J. McCutchion says that the most impressive ek-ratna (single tower) temples were built by the Malla kings. He lists several temples with structural variations: Kala-Chand, Lalji, Jora Mandir, Radha-Govinda, Radha-Madhava, Madan-Mohana, Radha-Syama (all at Bishnupur) and several outside Bishnupur. He points out the experimental variations of the Jadava Raya temple at Jadabnagar, with a “disproportionately massive upper structure” and the Nandakisor temple at Dwadashbari with a “tower on eight slender pillars.” He mentions the Dwadashbari temple as a plain, laterite, abandoned structure.
