Every citizen is proud of culture & heritage, state Maithe community of Manipur is following the vaishnavism & should be proud of it. The Vishnu temple of Bishnupur is so ancient but neglected by the locals. visitors / tourists are not guided properly no one is available to enlighten the rich history of Bishnupur & Vishnu temple except the Archeological Survey of India sign Board. The village committee & ASI should take care of the heritage site & glorify. It can also be made one of the most visited site of the Manipur, as all the tourists visit loktak & INA museum. The Manipur Tourism should give more emphasis in development & beautification along with ASI.

This temple is one of the oldest known brick temples in Manipur. The Vishnu temple was built during the reign of king Kyamba (1467-1508 CE) of Manipur. It is believed that he constructed this temple after receiving a Vishnu emblem from the neighbouring Shan king (upper Burma).The style resembles a Bengali-hut type structure. Built with brick and lime surkhi, it consists of a square & a rectangular porch. Internally, the temple measures 2x2m and the porch measures 2.10x1.1m approx. The temple is covered by a corbelled roof.

Nice small serene temple - closed currently so you can only see the structure from outside. It is a ASI property but the upkeep could be better. There is a hand loom centre on the other side. Worth visiting.

Real small and closed. 2 mins from the main road so if you are really passing thru the visnupur road, you may come here for 5 mins else skip.
