Short Description of Antiques

Kundupukur Mazar

In the Kundupukur Union of Nilphamari Sadar Upazila, there is a shrine known as the Kundupukur Mazar, which is associated with Hazrat Mahiuddin Chishti (R.A.), who came from distant Persia to this area to preach Islam.


Dharmapal's Royal Palace

To the east of Dharmapala's fort, on the bank of a small river, stood the royal palace of Dharmapala. About one mile northwest of Dharmapala's fort, there is a silted-up reservoir. On the eastern bank of this reservoir, there is a masonry ghat and a six-foot-high mound. Seeing the bricks of the inner wall of the mound, many believe it to be the remains of Dharmapala's royal palace.

Mainamati Fort

The ‘Mainamati Fort,’ built in the name of King Dharmapala’s widowed sister-in-law Mainamati, is located on the western bank of the Charalkata River, in Atibari village of Harinchara Union under Domar Upazila. This rectangular fort is surrounded by a fortification wall that is 8 to 12 feet high and about 3,000 feet in length. Adjacent to the fort wall, there is a moat that is 30 feet wide.


Chini Masjid

As the result of the dedicated efforts of several hundred skilled craftsmen and artisans, this magnificent mosque was established in 1863. Attached to the mosque are 243 pieces of mixed marble stones, and around 25 tons of porcelain fragments have been embedded along with the stones on its walls. This breathtaking mosque features 27 minarets, of which 5 still remain unfinished.


Harishchandra's Path

The ancient ruin mound known as Harishchandra’s Path or Royal Palace, located in Khutamara Union under Jaldhaka Thana, is scattered with stone fragments. This elevated mound, situated on about one bigha of land, lies on the southern bank of the Charalkata River. On top of the mound, there are five large black stone slabs embedded. Locals believe that these stones sink into the soil of the mound and then reappear from time to time.


Bhimer mayer chula

About 200 meters northwest of the Kishoreganj Upazila Complex lies 'Bhimer Akha' or 'Bhimer Mayer Chula' (Bhima’s Hearth). This structure is surrounded on three sides by elevated earthen walls, with three specific points on top of the wall rising higher than the rest. The inner part of the structure is deep, and the outer sides are encircled by a moat on three sides.
