If you go towards the Kali Bazar on the way to Comilla-Kotbari-Kaliar Bazar road crossing the main gate of the Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD), stop seeing the cantonment college in the right hand. A narrow road on the west side of the college has gone in such a way that it has lost its way in the mountains. You'll catch that path, but stretch your eyes before answering. Yes, there is no architecture seen as a brick kiln !! Go ahead 50 meters forward, you will see that it is not a brick kiln ... an ancient temple of a thousand years old - 'a jungle full of fish, a fear of snakes and a fearful atmosphere'; The silent witness of history kept itself covered in the dust of the times so that ordinary people could not even go away during the summer, but the last was not even saved. When the contractors started arbitrarily brick during the World War II, the skeletal form of the skeleton was exposed in the above-mentioned muscles - from a distance, it seemed like a brick kiln. The locals said that the dirt of the soil is dense, the mound seen as brick kiln becomes so known to everyone as 'Itakhola Mura'. From here, so many bricks have been lifted that it was the ancient idea of a brick kiln. In the initial archaeological observation, two installations, named Itakhola Mura, were identified, and many of them have been named as Itakholla Mura.Located at an elevation of about 18 - 20 meters above sea level, Itakhola Mura, built sometime in the 7th / 8th century, is basically a Buddhist monastery. The land planning of this monastery is a little different from the larger monasteries of Bangladesh. It is believed that the architecture of the temple, land layout, the structure of the temple of the large volume, and the entire Lalmai-Mainamati mountain range is located in the center of the Samachine, which is ancient or earlier than the other structures of this place. In Bihar, there are two main parts of Bihar; Central Temples and Houses The central temple of Bihar is located quite a distance from its residential part. Moreover, the size and shape of the temple is comparatively bigger than the residential part of this monastery. Approximately 50 meters north of the temple and 150 meters before there are two archeological parts / monastery. The northern part is part of Itakhola Mura and the other is Lonetot Mura. There is no temples in the lime-lime mura. So, both the residential part / Bihar was built on this temple?
The main attraction of this monastery is its temple. There is no doubt about how old the temple was, but there is no doubt that it is a very beautiful and attractive Buddhist temple. The wall surrounding the wall is rectangular. The length of the wall is 80.0 meters, the width is 56.3 meters and the width is 1.83 meters. But in the 2nd construction period, its width was reduced by 0.3048 meters. As well as the outer part of the wall is decorated by 'bend' and 'panel'.The entrances to the temple eastward. The entrance to the temple is set up on higher platforms, crossing 22 stairs. The presence of 12 floors in the entrance is believed to be that it has repeatedly needed to be reformed or rebuilt because of many uses. In the 4th construction period, three stacks were constructed in front of the entrance stairs, which were then surrounded with a fixed wall.
The main temple was established in the middle of the rectangular area after stepping on the steps leading up the stairs. The length of this part of the temple is approximately 41.6 meters and the width is 55.6 meters. The temple is located 16.6 meters from the east wall, 14.8 meters from the west and 18.8 meters from the north side and 14.2 meters north of both sides. When entering the temple premises, there is a circular path across four sides (length 41.64 meters and width 24.99 meters). The width of the wall surrounding the direction of the path is 1.19 / 1.22 meters which is not equal everywhere. There were windows in the walls of the fence wall for the winding of the winding pathway.When the entrance to the wall of the temple from the east side of the path of the pathway, the narrow three paths have gone towards the south and went towards the poor house. The width of this center is 3.84 meters wide, but the width of the next two is 3.93 meters. The west end of the lane connects with a square platform with an arm of 13.11 meters. In the 3rd century, the extension of this platform was increased to 4.3 meters in the northern and southern parts. There are four more statue cells built here. As a result, the path of the moving path is closed. For normal reasons, the walls of the fence wall are also to be rebuilt.
