PAHARPUR - THE LARGEST BUDDHIST SEAT OF LEARNING

Paharpur is a little village 5 km. west of Jamalganj in the better Rajshahi district where the relics of the most main and the biggest known monastery south of the Himalayas has been excavate. The entire establishment, occupying a quadrangular cout, measuring more than 900 ft. and from 12 ft. to 15th. In height. With complex gateway complex on the north there are 45 cells on the north and 44 in each of the other three sides with a total number of 177 rooms. The structural design of the pyramidal cruciform temple is profoundly unfair by those of South - East Asia, especially Myanmar and Java. It had in use its name from a high heap, which looked like pahar or hillock. A site museum built recently houses the commissioner compilation of things recovered from the area. The excavate answer have also been preserved at the Varendra Research Museum at Rajshahi. The antiquities of the museum include terra-cotta plaques, images of different goods and goddesses, potteries, coin inscriptions, ornamental bricks and other minor clay substance.
