📖 About This Attraction

UNESCO World Heritage 8th-century Buddhist monastic university—the largest religious architectural quadrangle south of the Himalayas.

Founded in the late 8th century by Pala Emperor Dharmapala, Somapura Mahavihara was a preeminent center for Buddhist scholarship that deeply influenced architectural traditions in Burma and Cambodia. The vast quadrangle encompasses 177 monks' cells surrounding a 70-foot-high terracotta-studded cruciform temple.
