==Culture==
[[David McCutchion|David J. McCutchion]] says that the most impressive ''[[Bengal temple architecture#Ratna temple|ek-ratna]]'' (single tower) temples were built by the [[History of Bankura district|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.<ref>McCutchion, David J., ''Late Mediaeval Temples of Bengal'', first published 1972, reprinted 2017, pages 41,44.
