MY VISIT TO A PLACE OF HISTORICAL INTEREST
In Bangladesh, there are many places of historical interest. Visits to such places bear a great educative value. So after the stress of the test examination, I along with some of my friends visited Mahasthangarh.
On January 20, 2005 we started for our visit. We went to Bogra by bus and stayed there overnight. The following day after breakfast we set out for Mahasthangarh. It was only a few kilometres away from Bogra town. We went by rickshaw. When we reached Mahasthangarh a glorious chapter of old history opened up before our eyes. Mahasthangarh was the site of Pundranagar.
Pundranagar was the capital of the Mouryas, Guptas, Senas and other Hindu kings. The old city was about 2000 metres long and 1500 metres wide and was surrounded by a wall. Once it was a very flourishing city. Mahasthangarh stands on the western bank of the river Korotoa. There are some elevated places near Mahasthangarh. These places are known as Vitas, Kundas, Ghous and Dhaps.
One part of the dried river is known as the ghat of Kankabati. There is a museum at Mahasthangarh. Some images, dice, ornaments and pots excavated from Mahasthangarh have been kept in the museum. We have seen all these relics of the past and learnt a lot about our past heritage.
We have, spent the day at Mahasthangarh and started back for Bogra in the evening. We enjoyed the day. It was a great pleasure to be at Mahasthangarh. It was indeed a rewarding visit.
