★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awsome place for historical and cultural importance yet not so well mentained. You should come here and feel how the ancient phase of bengal being unearthed day by day. While visit please buy a pamphlet available at the small museum(!) Which will help u to understand about the importance of the place.
Nearest small town with railway connectivity is Belda on Howrah-Bhubaneswar route of South-eastern railway. Belda have so many low range hotel with 'not so bad' acomodation. You can hire a car from Belda taxi stand and reach Mogolmari within a 15 to 20 mins drive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A study of inscriptions on clay tablets recovered recently from the Buddhist monastic site at Moghalmari in West Bengal confirmed the presence of two monasteries — Mugalayikaviharika and Yajñapindikamahavihara.
✓ The monasteries date back to 6th century CE and were functional till the 12th century CE.
✓ The presence of two monasteries dating to the same period within a single compound is unique in eastern India.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One burning example of India's glorious past was moghalmari bouddho vihar. India as a nation had reached to new heights during Gupta era and this ancient stupa is a signature of that. This stupa has preserved the past in the objects recovered from here, and also in the stuckos and frescoes. I was thrilled visiting this place and knowing the history of one of the seven great boudha vihar mentioned by Xiang xung or Hue en sung. This place needs to be dug up much more, as right now we have traced only till Gupta era and there is many more layers in the bottom. This stupa might give us clue for other seven grand stupa around it. Not only history, but the spiritual significance of this place is also enormous as for thousands of years monks had meditated here and studied here. They may be long gone, but their energy is still very much alive. Hope this place gets its due repute and more work happen soon??
