Report on Mainamati- Zinat Afrose
Mainamati: Greatest Assemblage of Ancient Buddhist Settlements Zinat Afrose Introduction: The Mainamati-Lalmai range, an isolated low, dimpled range of hills dotted with more than 50 ancient Buddhist settlements from the 8th to 12th centuries A.D., runs through the heart of the Cumilla district. The wealthiest region of Bangladesh is Mainamati, Cumilla, which is home to the majority of the country's heritage sites. Shalban Bihara, located almost in the middle of the Mainamati Lalmai hill range, is made up of 115 cells arranged around a spacious courtyard with a cruciform temple in the centre facing its only gateway complex to the north which is similar to that of Paharpur Monastery. Kutila Mura is a charming Buddhist establishment located on a ﬂattened hillock about 5 km north of Shalban Vihara within the Cumilla Cantonment. Three stupas stand side by side, symbolizing the Buddhist 'Trinity,' or three jewels, which are the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Charpatra Mura is a small oblong shrine located 2.5 kilometres northwest of the Kutila Mura stupas. The shrine is approached from the east via a gateway that leads to a large hall. Copper plates, gold and silver coins, and 86 bronze artefacts are among the many items on display at the Mainamati site museum. About 150 bronze statues, mostly from monastic cells, bronze stupas, stone sculptures, and hundreds of terracotta plaques have been found, each measuring 9" high and 8" to 12" wide on average. https://steemit.com/walkwithme/@boishakhitripty/walkwithme-to-moinamoti-buddhists-settlement Mainamati, an isolated ridge of low hills on the eastern margins of deltaic Bangladesh, about 8 excavations have uncovered important materials.

International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 08 Issue 07, July 2020 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.178 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal Lion Symbol in Hindu-Buddhist Sociological Art and Architecture of Bangladesh: An Analysis Sk. Zohirul Islam1, Md. Kohinoor Hossain2, Mst. Shamsun Naher3 Abstract There is no lion animal in Bangladesh still live but has a lot of sculptors through terracotta art in architecture, which are specially used as decorative as religious aspects through the ages. The lion is the king of the animal world. They live in the plain and grassy hills particularly. Due to these characteristics, the lion has been considered through all ages in the world as a symbol of royalty and protection as well as of wisdom and pride, especially in Hindu- Buddhist religion. In Buddhism, lions are symbolic of the Bodhisattvas. In Buddhist architecture, lion symbols are used as protectors of Dharma and therefore support the throne of the Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas. The lion symbol is also used in Hindu temple architecture as Jora Shiva Temple, Akhrapara Mondir of Jashore. In Bangladesh, there are various types of lion symbol used in terracotta plaques of Ananda Vihara, Rupbhan Mura, and Shalban Vihara at Mainamati in Comilla district, Vashu Vihara, Mankalir Kundo at Mahasthangarh in Bogra district and Somapura Mahavihara at Paharpur in Naogaon district. This research has been trying to find out the cultural significance of the lion symbol in Hindu-Buddhist art and architecture of Bangladesh.

Elemental Analysis of Old Mortar Used in Various Archaeological Sites of Bangladesh by Sem and Edax
J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 38(2): 145-153, December 2012 ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF OLD MORTAR USED IN VARIOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES OF BANGLADESH BY SEM AND EDAX ACHIA KHANOM1,*D. K. SAHA2, S. M. RAHAMAN1 AND AL MAMUN2 1Department of Archaeology, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka 2Materials Science Division, Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka-1000 Abstract Morphological characterization and mineralogical studies were performed on fifteen mortar samples collected from three ancient archaeological sites (Wari-Bateshwar, Lalmai-Mainamati, and Paharpur) of Bangladesh. Many cracks and pores were found in the mortar samples of Buddhist Lotus temple of Wari-Bateshwar. Energy dispersive analytical x-ray analysis confirmed the presence of C, O, P, K, Al, Fe, Na, Mg, Mn, Si and Ti in the mortar samples. The absence of Ca in the samples indicates that the clay was used in the architecture as binding materials. In the clay mortar, Si played an important role and with the presence of O2, SiO2 was formed, which strengthened the binder. K, Al, Fe, Na, Mg, Mn, Si and Ti might form compounds like SiO2, Fe2O3, K2O, +2 Al2O3, MgO, MnO, Na2O3, and TiO2 with O2. The oxidation of Fe produced Fe2O3 which was responsible for breaking down the bonding of mortars. Key words: Archaeology, Mortar, Deterioration, SEM and EDAX Introduction Mortar analysis is an essential domain for conservation of architectural remains of Bangladesh. Mortar, a workable paste, generally formed by the mixture of cement, sand and water, is a fine aggregate to fill the gaps between construction bricks and stones. Aziz (1995) classified the types of mortar as follows (i) mud mortar (ii) lime mortar (iii) surki mortar (iv) lime surki mortar and (v) cement mortar.

The Refining of a Domestic Art: Surayia Rahman Niaz Zaman and Cathy Stevulak The kantha or, as it is increasingly referred to now, the nakshi kantha, is an important women’s domestic art of Bengal. It is made all over Bangladesh except in the south-eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts region. Layers of old garments such as saris, lungis and dhotis are put together and reconstituted into objects of functional, ritual, or ceremonial use. Borders and motifs are embroidered in variations of the running stitch with coloured thread, traditionally drawn from the borders of old saris. The empty spaces are stitched with white yarn to create an effect of ripples. In most Bengali families, small kanthas made of soft, old cloth, are used to wrap babies. [Figure 1] Husbands or sons who leave home to work on land or water almost always carry with them a kantha made by their mothers or wives.

LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By
LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM BATALI HILL, CHITTAGONG By Rayeed Mohammad Yusuff 11108022 Seminar II ARC 512 Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University Fall 2015 LIBERATION WAR MUSEUM | 2 ABSTRACT The year of 1971 is the most significant year in the lives of the Bangladeshis. Our liberation war of 1971 is an event which marks the existence of Bangladesh. It was a war fought by the people and these valiant men and women helped us gain this country. However, in the process of gaining independence, several lives were lost, many girls and women raped and numerous people had to be displaced. The heinous Pakistanis did not hesitate once to kill the innocent people of Bangladesh. It has been almost 44 years since this war was fought and unfortunately, many people are slowly forgetting the importance of this war and the real story behind it. I believe that the people who had been present during the war and have actively participated in it are the ones who can give us the most accurate information about our Liberation War. During this long span of time, we are slowly losing most of them and we urgently need to preserve their experiences and information for the future generation. Chittagong, being a historic site during the Liberation War of 1971, does not have a Liberation War Museum of a large magnitude compared to Dhaka. Chittagong not only contributed during the Liberation War but also played a major role before it. Hence, an attempt was made to design a Liberation War Museum in Batali Hill, Chittagong.
