The temple architecture of the Nagpur region in Maharashtra, India followed a very peculiar style as compared to the other regions of Maharashtra. The architectural character of the temples of the Nagpur region was greatly influenced by the Orissa and West Bengal styles of temple architecture. This is because temples of Nagpur during the eighteenth century in India have been supported by the Craftsman of the neighbouring states of Orissa and Bengal. Nagpur was predominantly ruled by the royal lineage of Bhonsale of the Kolhapur region. Their feudatories also called Bhonsales were from the Kolhapur region of Maharashtra.

A comparative study of the planning features and architectural characteristics of the temples of Nagpur region and other parts of Maharashtra is carried out to assess the influence of Orissa and West Bengal temple styles. To understand how the Nagpur temple style is similar and collect data on Bhonsales of Nagpur and their expeditions, meetings with the officials from Orissa and West Bengal. This study is important to assess the contribution of Craftsmen from Orissa and West Bengal which has resulted in a unique style of temple architecture in Nagpur since such studies are limited.
