The hidden mystery behind Mahasthangarh

Hello every one today i'm going to share about historic heritage in our motherland...

God's Stone Vita is a hill or mound located in Mahasthangarh (Pundranagar) of Bogra district. The local people have made odd names in the mound from a threshold (2.84 m × 0.71 m × 0.74 m) of granite stone on the surface of the mound. In this huge thicket, there are two holes in the center of the door, the furrows on top and the flower design of the flower. Local Hindus and Muslims here devote their devotion to the threshold in the nude legs and still do.

In the 1970's, a mound (46.94 m × 40.84 m × 2.44 m) excavated a temple and found some small antiquities. The temple is a rectangular Buddhist temple on the east side. It includes stone-paved floor and foundation-wall. The walls placed on the ground were made of clay brick bricks. The rostrum on the doorpiece, the sardar and the ornamental part of the door was probably made of stone. There are three Buddhist statues sitting in the same row in the design of flowers (69m × 20cm × 18cm) in one of the engraved stone blocks found in excavation.

Presently it is preserved at the Varendra Research Museum at Rajshahi. Apart from the huge threshold, the remains of the structures of the site are still buried under the ground. There are numerous bricks and pieces of stone spread around the site and its surroundings. The ruins of the mound have been identified as the beginning of the Pala period
