Photograph the Sunset in Bishnupur Incredible India
Exiting one of the temples of Bishnupur, through the arched doorway I sighted the setting sun. I rushed to capture the final moments but the Sun was faster. It slipped in before I could capture its fine round form. It was a good opportunity to photograph the sunset in Bishnupur, unfortunately that moment slipped by too fast.
In all of West Bengal you get the best sunrise and sunset captures in Bishnupur. Bishnupur is a treasure house of terracotta temples.
Time your visit, check – sunrise and sunset timings of Bishnupur while planning the photo shoot.
Photography during full moon rise too is highly recommended here. Such beautiful temples all around. They look grand even in their ruined state.
The unique feature of these temples is their roofs. The minaret like structures is called chala in Bengali language. The temples are named according to the number of chala it has. For example: Eka-Ratna is temple type with a single tower. Jor Bangla temple is Do-chala type.
Photographing the sun, rise or set, and the moon rise with these temples in foreground make stunning compositions.
A guide there can definitely help you spotting those perfect locations. Among the silhouettes of trees I managed to get just a teeny-weeny piece of the setting sun.
