Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
Bengal had a temple-building frenzy beginning in the late fourteenth century and reaching its peak in the nineteenth century.

The temples started to imitate the thatched cottages' double-roofed or four-roofed architecture. In the four-roofed construction, which is relatively more complicated, four triangular roofs on the four walls travel up to converge on a curved line or a point. On a square platform, temples were typically constructed. The outside of many temples was embellished with paintings, decorative tiles, or terracotta tablets, while the interiors were often simple.
