Shalban Vihara is a crucial site as part of the Mainamati remnants in the Comilla district.

From the 7th and 12th century, Mainamati was an important centre for Buddhism.

The site founded by Bhava Deva, the fourth ruler of the Deva Dynasty lies in a 168 square metres area. The site is in the middle of the Lalmai Hills Ridge.

Barren land and forest surround this wonderful archeological structure in an area, which is very natural and serene.

The flamingly woody colour building was a lodging place for 115 monks. Prior to being a monastery, it was formerly familiar as Shalban Rajar Bari.

After discovering copper artwork when digging the soil, the site then went by the name of Shalban Vihara.

The Comilla district has great transport systems, with both Dhaka and Comilla linked with railway stations.

Tourists and visitors often say that it is a great area to escape to from the hustle and bustle from Dhaka’s busy street life.

A social media user describes Shalban Vihara as a “beautiful place.”
