Situated
in village Fatehpur Maras under Nowabgonj thana of Dinajpur District,
the site has yielded the impoverished remains of a brick-built Buddhist
monastery. It is medium in size, roughly 65.5m each side, and has
yielded a number of movable antiquities, i.e. bronze sculptural pieces
of Mahayana origin, iron dagger, terracotta net-sinker, terracotta cone,
carved brick, potteries of early medieval origin etc.. On ground of
style they are datable to the circa 7th-8th century AD.
To reach at the site one can start his journey from Dinajpur zero point by any kind of motorized vehicle comfortably.
