Historical place "Paragraph and Short composition"


Bangladesh has an enriched historical background. There are many places of historical interest all over the country. We the students of class twelve of our college, got an opportunity to visit such a place. The name of the place is the Buddhist Vihara also known as the Somapura Mahavira. It is situated at Paharpur in Rajshahi Division. It is 200 kms northwest of Dhaka. We went there by public bus. Before we booked seats in a local hotel. After reaching the hotel we took some rest and had some snacks. Next morning we started for the largest single Buddhist monastery in Indian subcontinent. We came to know many surprising things about the place form the officials.
Pala emperor Dharmapal founded the Vihara in the 7th century. Renowned Buddhist Sri Atish Dipankara lived several years here. It has 177 rooms. It covers 22 acre courtyard. It was renowned as an intellectual center from 7th to 17th century. Architecturally and historically is is a treasure of the world. So it has been declared as a world heritage site. After seeing the whole area we became very hungry. So we took a slight refreshment in a restaurant. In the evening, we experienced a huge gathering around us. Because people from different parts of the country visit this place to see and enjoy those starling things, now it is in a ruinous condition. So it is our responsibility to save this from being ruined.  

I spend eight hours there and saw many historical things and enjoyed myself. I left the Buddhist Vihara but the memory still haunts my mind. It was a nice visit on my part in two ways. On one hand, it was full of pleasure. And on the other hand, it was very educative. So I will never forget the place and the visit.
