Madan Mohan Temple
Further north of the Shyama Raya Temple is the beautiful form of the
Madan
Mohan Temple (constructed around 1694). It is less compound in design
and consists of a four-sided figure building with deep bow-like curved
cornices framing the edges of the roof on all four sides. From the
center a tall, many-sided tower is capped with a curved roof. Rows of
tiles line the wall surface of the temple, each portraying a theme. Most
playful and original are the rows of (plump) ducks waddling around in
sole file imitating the life-like gestures of a noisy flock.
