On the fixed day, we started our journey for visiting Mahasthangarh. On the fixed day, we started our journey for visiting Mahasthangarh. We went to Bogra by bus and stayed there at night. The following day after breakfast, we set out for Mahasthangarh. It is only a few kilometers away from Bogra town. We went there by rickshaw. When we reached there, a glorious chapter of old history opened up before our eyes.
Once Mahsthangarh was the site of Pundranagar. Pundranagar was the capital of many Hindu kings. The old city was about 2000 meters long and 1500 meters 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 pleases near Mahasthangarh. These places have different names. One part of the dried up river is known as the "Ghat of Kankabati.' There is a museum at Mahasthangarh. Some images, 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 spent the whole day at Mahasthangarh and started our journey for Bogra in the evening. We enjoyed the day very much. It was really a day of gathering much knowledge and experience. I shall never forget the day.
