English: The west side of the Buddhist temple at Cooch Behar taken by Thomas Fraser Peppé in 1870.
This ancient brick-built temple is one of the oldest still extant temples in India, linked to the great Bodh Gaya temple. The Konch tample differs from the Bodh Gaya temple in that the latter's four sides are straight from top to bottom whilst the Konch temple has curved sides in the upper portion. Moreover, the Bodh Gaya temple has numerious niches with images and ornamentations on the exterior of its walls whilst the Konch temple does not have niches. |
