History & tradition
The Rasmancha is a historic structure at Bishnupur in the Bankura district of West Bengal. It was commissioned in 1600 CE by the Mallabhum king Bir Hambir. Built on a laterite plinth with an upper part of brick, it is a square building 24.5 metres on each side and 12.5 metres high, with a small shrine at the centre enclosed by three galleries with vaulted roofs. During the Vaishnava Ras festival, all the Radha Krishna images of Bishnupur town were brought here for the people to worship; the festival was held at the Rasmancha until 1932.
