A Buddhist monastery dating from the 8th c, the area is the country’s most impressive archaeological site. It is massive at some 27 acres. Built by Dharmapala, the second Pala king, it had 177 monastic cells. The terraced central temple was done in cruciform shape, measuring a colossal 922' by 918'. The grounds are worth a stroll. The colour of the bricks would make for great photography in the late afternoon. There is a small museum on sitte.

Perhaps the most concentrated assemblage of temples and palaces in Bangladesh, this complex does not disappoint. Yes, massive restoration is needed. Yes, there is garbage everywhere. But this doesn't impact upon the sheer beauty of so many monuments. Make sure you take a guide with you. They can open up locked temples and bring you to places that just aren't in guide books.

This temple is made of hand crafted terracotta tiles. These tiles tell the story of the Hindu lord Krishna. If one is present during sunset the ambience of the place will take your breathe away.

Indeed this place is one of the best museum of Asia. A well kept place, lot of valuable and historical artifacts. One can learn history of ancestors how they used to live here before thousand years. This place is well located just at the heart of Rajshahi city.

Heard about this gem before I visited Rangpur & I knew I had to take my family there . It’s very close to Rangpur City , took less than 30 minutes in a battery operated small vehicle we call Auto Rickshaw . There is a beautiful rose garden on the side . Also , a huge pond is overlooking the Palace which has dried up in the winter season . Entry fee is only 20 taka ( $0.25 ) . The palace has a beautiful structure, the front view is simply breathtaking. I was quite intrigued to see the small museum upstairs , specially the Khutba from the Holy Quran handwritten by the last Moghul Emperor Aurongazeb . A great experience indeed . Highly recommend it .
