What were the temples built in bengal?
Answers
Bengal also witnessed a temple-building spree from the late fifteenth century, which culminated in the nineteenth century.
Temples and other religious structures were often built by individuals or groups who were becoming powerful, to demonstrate their power and proclaim their piety.
Temples were built in Bengal to house the local deities who had gained the recognition of the Brahmanas.
Many of the modest brick and terracotta temples in Bengal were built with the support of several “low” social groups, such as the Kolu (oil pressers) and the Kansari (bell metal workers).
The coming of the European trading companies created new economic opportunities; many families belonging to these social groups availed of these. As their social and economic position improved, they proclaimed their status by constructing temples.
