History

Located in the district of Bishnupur, Rasmancha was earlier a temple which was established by the Malla King - Vir Hambir in 1600 AD. The aim to build the temple was to celebrate Ras festival; during the festival, the idols of deities, whether small or big, was taken to this temple from all the nearby shrines. Till 1932, the temple used to exhibit all the local idols in the public. The beautiful tourist attraction in Manipur was also used to stage dances where different scenes of Krishna Leela used to perform. However, after 1932, the festival has been observed on the grounds of the popular Durga temple located in the near proximity. Ramancha is standing on a raised platform and has a pyramidal superstructure. Apart from being only one of its kind in the country, Rasmancha is also one of the oldest brick temples in India. Although at present, the temple does not serve as a temple, instead, it has now become one of the top heritage sites in Manipur. However, this heritage site is protected under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and has undergone maintenance a number of times. As a result of this, there is now the facilities of lightning.
