Lalmai Moinamoti and Shalbon Bihar

They are famous historical and archeological places around Comilla. These are a series of hillocks, where the Northern part is called Moinamoti and the southern part is called Lalmai. And Shalbon Bihar is in the middle of Lalmai and Moinamoti, which the was established in 8th century by king Buddadev. Salban Bihar almost in the middle of the Moinamoti-Lalmai hill range consists of 115 cells, built around a spacious courtyard with cruciform temple in the centre facing its only gateway complex to the north resembling that of the paharpur Monastery. Here three stupas are found side by side representing the Buddhist.'Trinity' or three jewels i.e. the Buddha, Dharma and sangha. If you are in comilla and already visited Lalmai, Moinaoti then don't miss to go Moinamoti Museum where you will find the historical things found in Lalmai & Moinamoti of  7th & 8th centuries. Mainamoti is only 114 km. from Dhaka city and is just a day's trip by road on way to chittagong.
