Culture

David J. McCutchion says that old ruins, images and tumbled remains of old structures spread across Mallabhum, e.g. the three temples at Atbaichandi in Indpur PS, stand as evidence of extensive temple-building by the Rajas of Bishnupur. Although subject to occasional incursions, "their territory was largely beyond the sphere of Muslim influence."
