Spread of Chala architecture ....
Chala architecture originated in clay homes of bengal but became an instant hit all over India . It was quickly adopted by mughal emperor Akbar for designing his palaces in newly constructed Agra fort . Records show that a significant number of craftsmen hailed from Bengal . From imperial mughals it spread to rajputana rajasthan and soon became popular motif in 'jharoka' balconies .
The first pic shows a traditional thatched roof in Bengal with the distinguishing arched bend .
The second pic shows terracotta temple fashioned on the same style .
In the third pic we see Agra fort and use of Bangla chala in Khaas mahal .
And in the final pic we see the popular jharokha balcony of rajasthan adorned with bangla chala .
