Rising Bengal Dhaka Bureau: History The famous historical Jagaddal Vihara is located in the village of Jagaddal in Dhamoirhat Upazila, about 65 km north of the district headquarters of Naogaon, Bangladesh The Jagaddal Buddhist Vihara has some exceptional additions to the 917-year-old architecture of the Varendra region The Paharpur (Somapur) Vihara was attacked and burned down by the rebellious Bengal army in the 11th century.

The mighty Pala Empire's sovereignty was largely eroded by this chaos and the invasion of the Barhishtru The Varendra region went under the rule of the local Kaibat Nayab Dibyok and his nephew Bhima for some time The Pala king Rampala recovered the beloved fatherland of Varendra after defeating Bhima in the latter half of the 11th century.

He established the Jagaddala Mahavihara (university), a centre of historical learning and learning, near the capital at Ramavati, near Malda (now in West Bengal, India), and a nearby historical centre of learning, the Jagaddala Mahavihara (university), in order to win the affection of the common people The Mahavihara was the seat of learning and research of some of the world's most eminent scholars of the time.

Notable among them were Bibhutichandra (a bibliographer, commentator, translator and reformer, who spent some time in Nepal and Tibet and translated many books into Tibetan), Acharya Dansheel (translated about 60 Khana Tantra texts), Acharya Mokshakar Gupta (who wrote a treatise on Buddhist justice called Tarkabhasha), Shubhakar Gupta (who was a contemporary of the Pala king Rampala and the Acharya of Jagaddala Vihar).

The 2014 excavations at the northern arm of the monastery revealed terracotta terracotta, which is lined on the walls of the monastery Excavations in Bihar have so far revealed 33 Bhikshu cells Each cell had a separate arrangement for housing Buddhist idols Found in the main entrance of the monastery and the hall of 8 meters length and 8 meters width, where visitors waited for permission to enter the monastery.

Found in this room are 04 granite stone pillars, which have not been found in any Buddhist monastery in Bangladesh before in archaeological evidence Found in the monastery are fragments of the roof of the monastery, which is 60 cm in thickness.

No part of the roof has been found in any of the monasteries of the country, including Paharpur Buddhist Vihara in Naogaon, Shalban Vihara in Comilla, Ananda Vihara, and Sitakota Vihara in Dinajpur, giving a clear idea of the roof structure of ancient Buddhist monasteries, which will open a new door for research by archaeologists, historians, and architects.

The bricks used in the vihara have been polished with stones The outer walls of the vihara have lime-sand-carved white-coloured ornamentation of creepers, flowers and animals, as exemplified in the Sanskrit text Ramacharitam by the famous 12th-century poet Sandhyakar Nandi The Jagadala Padma Mahavihara, with its adjacent Jagatnagar or the World Famous City, is the site of the lost city of Ramavati by the Pala emperor Rampala.

Extensive exploration, excavation and research by archaeologists suggest that Ramavati, the capital of the Pala dynasty king Rampala, may have been found in the Jagaddal Buddhist Vihara Archaeologists believe that the city of Ramavati was located here, as there is a township nearby named Amair The village of Amair, near Aranagar, Lakshan Para, is thought to be Ramavati, due to its geographical location, building ruins and name having some similarities.
