Ruins of Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur, Bangladesh.

 

Evidence of the rise of Mahayana Buddhism in Bengal from the 7th century onwards, Somapura Mahavira, or the Great Monastery, was a renowned intellectual centre until the 12th century. Its layout perfectly adapted to its religious function, this monastery-city represents a unique artistic achievement. With its simple, harmonious lines and its profusion of carved decoration, it influenced Buddhist architecture as far away as Cambodia.

Thank you Foysal for the beautiful site card affixing nice stamps. With this  my collection of Bangladesh heritage site card is complete.
