Cultural Heritage
Erected during the reign of Meitei King Raghunatha Singh (c. 1684-1696 CE), the Jorebangla Temple stands as a pivotal monument in Manipur's religious history, predating the widespread adoption of Gaudiya Vaishnavism under King Pamheiba (Garib Niwaz) in the early 18th century. Its construction signifies an earlier, significant phase of royal patronage for Vaishnava traditions within the Meitei kingdom, challenging the conventional timeline of religious shifts. This late 17th-century temple, dedicated to Radha-Krishna, thus offers crucial insights into the gradual assimilation of Vaishnava devotional practices into the Manipuri socio-religious fabric, long before it became the dominant state religion. It represents a foundational moment, indicating a sophisticated religious landscape already embracing diverse Indic spiritual currents. Beyond its religious implications, the Jorebangla Temple marks a significant evolutionary step in Manipuri architectural history. As one of the earliest extant brick temples in the region, its design showcases a unique synthesis of the Bengal *bangla* hut style with indigenous Manipuri vernacular elements. This architectural fusion, characterized by its distinctive curved roof and twin-hut configuration, reflects a dynamic period of cultural exchange between Manipur and its western neighbors, likely mediated through Assam. The temple's innovative use of brick and plaster set a precedent, influencing subsequent temple constructions and contributing to the development of a distinct Manipuri temple idiom that blended pan-Indic architectural trends with local aesthetic sensibilities, shaping the visual identity of the sacred landscape for centuries.
