Moynamoti,An awesome beauty in Bangldesh.

Nature has adorned Bangladesh with unique beauty.There are many interesting and historical places in our country where we can relax to get rid of all the anxiety of our mind.One can widen his outlook by visiting these places which enchant and tend the visitors profoundly.In the last summer I got an opportunity to make a trip to a place whcih filled me with vast knowledge and invaluable memories.Moynamoti,the most attractive tourist spot in Comilla is about eight (8) kilometers west of the town among the range of low hills known as Mainamati-Lalmai ridge.It is famous as an important centre of Buddhist culture from the 7th to 12th centuries, the buildings excavated here were made wholly of baked bricks. There are more than 50 scattered Buddhist sites, but the three most important are Salban Vihara, Kotila Mura and Charpatra Mura. Salban Vihara was a well-planned, 170 sq metre monastery facing a temple in the centre of the courtyard. Nearby is a museum housing the finds excavated here, which include terracotta Plaques, bronze statues, a bronze casket, coins, jewellery and votive stupas embossed with Buddhist inscriptions. Kotila Mura comprises three large stupas representing Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the `Three Jewels of Buddhism'. The most important discovery at Charpatra Mura were the four royal copper-plate decrees, three belonging to Chandra rulers, the other to Sri Viradhara Deva, a later Hindu king.

I went there with three of my friends of my university.We started our trip at 7 am from Dhaka and reached there at 11 am.We enjoyed the journey,but the real pleasure was restored at the arrival place.The view was so beautiful that it can't be described in words.There were green everywhere.Hills of various sizes surrounded the place.And in the middle of the spot,there was the exhilarating Moynamoti monument.There was a temple,some small buildings and some ruins and the whole place was surrounded by walls.From my experience I can say that the magical arts and architectural beauties stunned me.There,I learned the true capability of the great one who decorated the earth with amazing beauties.I also learned the true beauty never dies.I visited the other sights arount it,-the hills,border,mousques etc.They are very pleasant,but none of them is comparable with the Moynamoti monument.

we set out from there at 5:30 pm and get back to Dhaka at about 9:30 pm.I left the monuments but the memories still haunt my minds.
