মহাস্থানগড়ঃ বাংলার সর্বপ্রাচীন জনপদ | Mohasthangarh - The Ancient city of Bengal Bogura| Bangladesh

Dear Friends, Mohasthan or Mohasthangarh (Bengali: মহাস্থানগড় Môhasthangôṛ) represents the earliest and the largest archaeological site in Bangladesh, consists of the ruins of the ancient city of pundranagara. It is known as Pundravardhana: the Ancient city of Bengal Bogra. The site is 13 km north of Bogra town on the Dhaka-Dinajpur highway. The ruins form an oblong plateau measuring 1500m N-S and 1400m E-W and are enclosed on their four sides by rampart walls that rise to an average height of 6m from river level. The latter has been enclosed by a modern mosque, which has been extended recently, a development that precludes the scope of excavation here in future. #mohasthangarh_bogra #pundranagar #pundrabardhan #historical _place #mohasthangarh #bogura Facebook:   / banglargaan614   Pinterest:   / kantisubrota   Twitter:   / gaan_banglar   For more Videos of Mahasthangarh: Behular Basor Ghor:    • গোকুল মেড় - প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিক ইতিহাস ও...   Historical Vasu Bihar:    • Historical Vasu Bihar of Bogura || বগ...   Govinda Vita:    • Historical Govinda Vita | ঐতিহ্যবাহী ...   The northern, western and southern sides of the fortified city were encircled by a deep moat, traces of which are visible in the former two sides and partly in the latter side. The river Karatoya flows on the eastern side. The moat and the river might have served as a second line of defence of the fort city. Many isolated mounds occur at various places outside the city within a radius of 8 km on the north, south and west, testifying to the existence of suburbs of the ancient provincial capital. Excavated mounds: Gobhindo Bhita, a temple close to the north-eastern corner of the citadel Khulnar Dhap, a temple 1 km north of the citadel Mangalkot, a temple 400m south of Khulnar Dhap Godaibari Dhap, a temple 1 km south of Khulnar Dhap Totaram Panditer Dhap, a monastery 4 km north-west of the citadel Noropotir Dhap (Vashu Bihara), a group of monasteries 1 km north-west of Totaram Ponditer Dhap (said to be the place where Po-shi-po Bihara mentioned by Xuanzang (Hieun Tsang) was located) Gokul Medh (Lokhindorer Bashor Ghor), a temple 3 km south of the citadel Shkonder Dhap, a temple 2 km south-east of Gokul Medh Major unexcavated mounds: Mondirir Dorgah Bishmordana Dhibi Malinar Dhap Malpukuria Dhap Jogir Dhap Podmobhatir Dhap Kanai Dhap Dulu Mojhir Bhita Podda Debhir Bhita Rastala Dhap Shoshitola Dhap Dhonbandhor Dhap Chader Dhap Shindinath Dhap Shalibahon Rajar Kacharibari Dhipi Kacher Angina Mongolnather Dhap ChhoutoTengra/ Babur Dhap/ Kethar Dhap Entrance of mahasthangarh Boro Tengra/ Shonyashir Dhap Movable antiquities: The Mauryan period Mahasthan inscription in Brahmi, recording a land grant. Inscriptions: A 4.4 cm x 5.7 cm limestone slab bearing six lines in Prakrit in Brahmi script, discovered accidentally by a day labourer in 1931 was an important find. The text appears to be a royal order of Magadh, possibly during the rule of Asoka. It dates the antiquity of Mahasthangarh to 3rd century BC. An Arabic inscriptional slab of 1300–1301 discovered in 1911–12 mentions the erection of a tomb in honour of Numar Khan, who was a Meer-e-Bahar (lieutenant of the naval fleet). A Persian inscriptional slab of 1718–19 records the construction of a mosque during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar. Coins: Silver punch marked coins are datable to a period between the 4th century BC and the 1st–2nd century AD. Some uninscribed copper cast coins have been found. Two Gupta period coins have been reported from a nearby village named Vamanpara. A number of coins belonging to the sultans of 14th–15th century and British East India Company have been found. Ceramics: Mostly represented by a vast number of shards. Sculpture: A 5th century Buddha stone sculpture recovered from Vasu Vihara, a Lokesvara stone sculpture showing blending of Visnu and Avalokitsvara, salvaged from neighbouring Namuja village, a number sandstone door-frames, pillars and lintels (datable to 5th–12th century), numerous Buddha bronze sculpture datable to 10th–11th century, a terracotta Surya discovered at Mankalir Bhita, and numerous other pieces. Terracotta Plaques: A number of terracotta plaques have been discovered. Inside the citadel: Bairagir Bhita: Constructed/ reconstructed in four periods: 4th–5th century AD, 6th–7th century, 9th–10th century, and 11th century. Excavations have revealed impoverished base ruins resembling temples. Two sculptured sandstone pillars have been recovered. Parasuramer Prasad: Contains remains of three occupation periods – 8th century AD findings include stone Visnupatta of Pala period, 15th- 16th century findings include some glazed shreds of Muslim origin, and the third period has revealed two coins of the British East India Company issued in 1835 and 1853.
