An Introduction : Archaeological elements are the most significant wealth for the identification of a nation. Civilization and culture are measured by archaeological elements. The pyramid, sculpture of God and Gods has enlightened Missor into the World. Like Horoppa-Mohenjodara, Ojanta-Elora, the Lalmai-Mainamoti is also including into World archaeological heritage. As an archaeological site it has a Glory and depth. For weather condition of our country pre-historical documents of this region might be destroyed. But the anthropological sing identify that here people lived from the beginning of Universe. We know the Neolithic age began before 7000 years and basic element of Neolithic age is fossilized or petrified wood. A hand axe was found during the digging session of Ananda Vihara in 1976-77. The archaeologist thinks it is from Neolithic age. I so, if it true, how ancient the history of living in that area is‼ The ancient people of pre-historical period lived near hill and water source. So for the natural beautify and for the safety the Neolithic people might be lived the Lalmai-Mainamoti hill. Searching for ancient document: In the Lalmai-Mainamoti area a remarkable number of bricks, pitches of teraquata were found. These were careless. The common people didn’t have any headache about that. The archaeological department also didn’t think about that. In early 1875, when a narrow road was going to be construction, somebody thought it a fort, but actually it was a Buddhist temple. From this Buddhist temple a bronze inscriptions was found in 1890. It was the inscription of “Sri Ronobokollom Harikel Dev”.. Pottikera was his capital. But unfortunately the British Government didn’t take any step to save it. A Huge damage: During 2nd World War these historical sites come to light first, during the extension work of Comilla cantonment. But the British Government neglected it. At the time of established Comilla Airport the conductors damage and stole some bricks also. Mainamoti: Our Identification Mainamati is one of the most ancient archaeological sites in our country. It was the one of the earliest urban center in Bangladesh and it is dated back to the 7th/8th century BC. This is now at Comilla District. The area was ruled by a significant number of kings. Their prosperity might be destroy but thir early urbanization,civilization and cultural achievement was unbelievable. The Buddhis ,the hindus and the other lived with peace there. The famous chine’s traveler hiuen-tsang described it in his writings. After discovered these archaeological site we almost know nothing about ‘Deva Dynasty’ but they ruled more than hundred years here with dignity .the area around the little river ‘Khiroda’ always satisfied by the ruling of Mauya ,Gupta,khorog,Deva,Chandra or the Senas.The ruling of Chandras was not only at ‘Vanges’ and ‘Gouro’ but also the other part of India was afraid by them. They had a strong connection with Middle East and Barma. Many sculpture of God and Gods, a number of terracotta plaques ,copper cast coins have been found there. Unfortunately we didn’t get any kind of Book there. But we do believe at the golden time of civilization and culture there had a healthy collection of writings. But for critical environment it might be damage. Salvan Vihara :A Royal place of learning Shalbon vihara was the royal court for the early Buddhist Students. This range of hill consists of 115 cells. Students from various places come here for their Meditation and Religious learning. It’s such a quite place inside a barren forest. During their study period the students stay in the Dormitory/Cells around the temple. Before 1200 years ago, the King ‘Bhava Deva’ built that place on a 167.6 sq m ground. The range was built around a spacious courtyard with Cross-shaped temple in the centre facing its only gateway complex to the north resembling that of the Paharpur Monastery. About 2 km north from Shalbon Bihar theres another monastry called “Ananda Vihara / Anondo Bihar”. In the east site of Lalmai hill there found a Buddies Vihara by digging. It was named Shalbon Vihara. Once upon a time there had a lot’s of Shal trees.So it is called Shalbon vihara. Still there are some Shal trees in west site. The buddies might be gave a name of the vihara, but for insufficient information it has not yet known by us. But the Shalbon vihara is named as ‘Sri Bhava Deva Mohavihara’. It was named by the archaeological department. During last digging an inscription was found. After analyzing the inscription it is – ‘Sri BhavaDeva Mohaviharacharjo Vikku Songgharso’. So it is considered as a work of Deva dynasty. But the inscription was during 3rd phase of its. So it is difficult to say what the real name of the vihara was. The digging was started in 1955.Shalbon vihara is a great achievement of Buddhist world.the archaeologist think that the construction work of Shalbon vihara is as Same as Shampur vihara(Paharpur).It may be small but more earlier than Shampur vihara. Many archaeologists guess Shalbon vihara was buit before the great Paharpurbihar. And paharpur built according to its design. There is a wall around the vihara. The wall is about 5 meter Wide. There are 115 room discovered around the wall. These room are (4x4) meter. There have three “kulong” in each room, a “Varanda” for each room also found. Who was built these rooms and who lived there? It is still not clear to us. But it is not impossible that the “Kulki” was built for keeping the sculpture of God and Gods, and for holy “Tripitok”, for that we can say the Buddhist saint were lived here. But there was no window and there found some God and Gods made by bricks in some room. So, there rises a question, “was it a player room? There is only one “Entry path” of the Bihar. The design of the vihara is so modern. It is surprised us. So the architectural development of that period can be realized. The architect and designer of the vihara were much concern about the environment factor of the site. The draindge system, the sanitation system was so much developed. The bihara was built in six phase or stage. The first stage was built during the dynasty of “kharog king”. After that the bihara was constructed and re-constructed more than four times. “Sri NabadevMaha Bihar” was in 3rd stage. So the first stage of the vihara was ancient than the Dev dynasty. Vaba Dev just had re-constructed the vihara. There found a inscription of metal at the deep stage of vihara. Which is similar to “inscription of Boinnagupta” of 6th century Bc. So some archeologist says that the first construction age of the vihara was in 6th century Bc. If it true Shalbonbihara was during the “Gupta”. The central temple: The central temple is situated at the middle point of the vihara. The temple was made by bricks. The temple might be built in 7th century. The first reconstruction of the temple is during the king of “Samatata”. The 3rd re-construction is under “Deva Dynasty”. The 4th is during the powerful “Chandras”. After that “Raja Gopichandra” or the palas might be constructed it. There was a large “Scalpture of Buddho“ at the temple. It was made by Bronze.The king of Chandra beautify the temple. Dr. Jakaria thinks the Lalasam of middle east, Bordur , Pagan were made with the shadow of this temple. The architect of Middle East got experience from it. It proves that there had a strong connection between Middle East here. During the 4th construction period a significant change happed at the temple. The king made the temple rectangle form. Just like the Hindu’s temple. Their also found inside the bihara like big hall room, kitchen, cafeteria etc. there were different sleeping room for- Maha-esthobir Vante Vikkhu and Sromon In the North-east corner of Shalbon vihara there is a squre architect. Archaeologists are considered it as a Buddhist temple. But most probably it was a residence of Buddhist students who came from different part of the world. The archealogical documents of Shalbonbihara: After digging Shalbonbihara a surprising number of archaeological document have found there Bronze , Gold and Silver coins , God and Godes ,Teraquata daily to fifth re-construction stage. Because 7th and 6th re-construction periods document has destroyed. The Bronze inscription: There found eight Bronze inscriptions. 1. Boinnogapto’s Bronze inscription 2. The inscription of DevKhorog 3. Khorog inscription 4. The inscription of Balvatta 5. Inscription of AnandaDev 6. Inscription of BhovoDev 7. Dev Dynasty inscription-I 8. Dev Dynasty inscription-II 1.Boinnogapto’s Bronze inscription: Here write down “Maharaja Sri Boinnoguptassor” It is about (26.67 cm x 15 cm) It is found at the deep stage of the Bihara. It is made by Bronze. The writing of the inscription yet not discovered. 2.The inscription of DevKhorog: Here write down “SrimatDevKhorog RajaputraBolvatta” It is found at room no.75 of 3rd re-construction stage. It is about (25 cm. X 20 cm.)There are 45 lines in the inscription. But we only can read out the 27th line of the inscription. 3.Khorog inscription: It is about (19.05 cm. X 15.24 cm.) It is also found at room no.75 of the 3rd re-construction stage. The inscription is already destroyed. So, we cannot read out anything of the inscription. 4. The inscription of Balvatta: It is found at room no.51 of 3rd re-construction stge. It is one of the most significant inscriptions. There are two page of the inscription. At the first page there are 35 lines and 2nd page there are 11 lines. The summary of the inscription-“PoromessorRajputraBalvatta is the great donar. He donateko 25 Patok land by the name of GoutomBuddho and for development of Buddhis. There is a river near his land named “Khirod” and a mountain named “Joyokondhabar”. This inscription also declared that Bolovatta was a Khoroj king. 5. Inscription of AnandaDev: It is found at room no.114 of 5th re-construction age. It is about 26.99 cm. X 21.59 cm. There are two page of the inscription. At first page there are 38 lines and at the 2nd page 6 lines. All writing is about Raja AnandaDev and Raja Vabo Dev. At the end of the inscription there writes “Sri bongalMrikosso” From the inscription we can know Raja VaboDev donate 2 Patok land for established “Buddha temple”. 6. Inscription of BhovoDev: It is found room no.5 of 3rd re-construction stage. There are 34 lines at the 1st page and 19th lines here. The archaeologist thought it was during BhovoDev the son of Ananda Dev. Coins : At Shalbon vihara there found 400 hundred coins. Gold coins-18 Silver coins-350 Bronze coins-20 (about) Gold Coin: Among 18 gold coins, two coins are ‘’Gupta’’. 1st coin during samuddra Gupta (335-375) BC found at the south block of the Bihar. 2nd coin during Chandra Gupta -11 (375-415) BC. Here A coin has found similar to Dev Dynasty. In the coin there is writing . ‘’ Srivangalmriganko’’ Silver coin: 224 silver coins have found at the East block of the Bihar. There a drawing of Oxe in this coin. Also some few words like ‘’Pottikera’’ ‘’Lolitakor Dhormo Bijoy’’ ‘’ Arikkriyo’’ ‘’Harikel’’ Discussion about the coines : Dr. Niharanjon Roy divided the coins into the section. 1. Suborno Coins 2. Weightless silver coins. 1. Suborno Coins:  These are from 7th Century Bc.  There a standing Lady on the left side of the coins.  The standing Lady might be The Queen or ‘’Sri laxmi’’ . 2. Weightless Silver coins: These are made by silver. These coins are not dated. Circle, triangle are on the left side of the coins and sculpture of Bishnu are on the right side. In these coins there are some writings. ‘’Pottiker or Harikel.’’ So it may print at pottiker or Harikel. ‘’Dharmobijoy ‘’or Lalitkor may be the title of King. Pottiker and Harikel was ruled by Chandra (10th -11th Century). We have a large Question. Where were the silver coins come from at Mainamoti?’’ These coins are very much similar of the King Funan, Darboti, Pu Non e.t.c.of Middle East. Arabian Coins: A coins during ‘’Abbasio Khalifa’’ has found at Shalbon Vihara named ‘’Kufik’’. Bronze Scalpture: About 150 Bronz sculpture were found at Shalbon Vihara. All sculpture represents the Buddhist. These are the sculpture- I. Goutom Buddho II. Bodhi sotto III. Tara IV. Sorbani V. Monjusri VI. Jonggle VII. Progga Parmita e.t.c. During our Liberation War in 1971.About 36 sculptures were destroyed. This sculpture has a great artistic value. The teraquata: A large number of teraquata has been seen at Shalbon Vihara. These are might be during 3rd re-construction period. But who ruled during 3rd re-construction age? Palas or Devs ………… Most of the archeologist says these are during Devs. They were Buddhist Ruler. The artistic value of the teraquata is surprised us. These were the re-action of their daily life, way of living, culture, behavior etc. These teraquata is the picture and as well as symbol of o Animals o Different kinds of Birds o God and Godes o Singer with flute o Kinnori – Kinnor o Snake o Trees o Flowers o Lion Daily product: During Digging A huge number of daily product has found. Even lamp; made by soil has also found. But unfortunately no Books have found. But a question; why? That was a civilized society. We think the might be destroyed for weather. The daily used product that have found at Shalbon are- I. Knife II. Spade III. Pin IV. Ornaments These are very much ancient and prove a civilized society. Ananda Vihara:Our early cultural centre Ananda Vihara situated in the archaeologically rich Kotbari area near Comilla, is the largest of the mainamati monuments. It also has the largest water tank in the area. This Vihara complex was built by Anandadeva, the third ruler of the Early deva dynasty, at the end of the 7th or the beginning of 8th century AD. The contractors and brick hunters damaged this great establishment beyond recognition in 1944-45; the builders of the Cantonment did more damage to it in subsequent years. The excavations carried out here are incomplete. The work done so far has revealed the outlines of a large shalvan vihara type monastery, 198m square in size. The Vihara has similar rows of monastic cells arranged in four wings around a large cruciform shrine that stands majestically in the centre of a wide open courtyard. Its imposing single entrance in the middle of the north side is set in a broad and massive front facade projected outwards. It is larger and more elaborate than that of Shalvan Vihara. The massive outer wall is also more pleasing due to the decorations of offsets and moldings’. The inner verandah wall is also decorated with moldings’ and ornamental bricks. A few cells in the northern wing and a section of the southern part of the central shrine have been cleared. They show clear evidence of intensive occupation of the site for a long time. Much work remains to be done yet. But the excavations did not continue beyond the initial stage. Its large size, earlier discoveries of a copperplate inscription, a hoard of 63 silver coins, many bronze images, terracotta, sculptured plaques and pottery kilns outside the monastery indicate the potential importance of the site. Kotila Mura: ‘’Kotila Mura’’ is five Kilometer from Shalbon vihar. Surrounding the Mainamoti cantonment. It may be 7th-13th Century. Here discovered there combined high formation. This is unique in our sub-continent. These might be Buddhist ‘’Tri-ratna’’. Which is the symbol of -Buddha (Knowledge and religion) -Justice -Collectivisms There discovered a large number of sculpture here. Some are the symbol of praying towards God. The most significant matter of Kotila Mura is discovered a Gold coins of Khalifa Abu Ahmed Abdullah (1242-1258) Bc. So is not impossible to had navy connection with the Arabians for the business purpose. Kotila Mura may be during 7th Century by ‘’Khorog Raja’’. It is a matter of sad that a significant number of Archaeological element destroyed during 2nd World War. Charpatra Mura: Charpatra Mura was built in a small hill; it is about 12 m. This was discovered of Pakistan period. There is a Buddhist temple here. It is about 30m×12m. There are four Bronze inscriptions here. © 1st inscription of Lorhorchandra © 2nd inscription of Lorhorchandra © The inscription of Gobindachandra © The inscription of Birdhor Dev. Lorhor chandra’s: There 30 lines in every pages here. At the end of the inscription there writing ‘’Sriloroho Dev’’. From this inscriptions, we able to know that Sri Toikollo donate land at samatat. Their Capital was at Vikrampur. In this inscription ‘’Poromeshwar,’’ Poromvattarok,’’ Moharajadhiraj’’ are used. And from the 2nd inscription of Lorhorchandra we can know, ‘’The lord of Bikrampur donate land to the loard of Samantata. The name of the village is ‘’Survorok’’. We can know not only Larhor chandra but also the chandra dynasty. The Inscription of Birdhor: It is about (27.94×22.8)m. From here a picture of a running dog has been seen. King Birdhor Dev sacrifice ‘’15 pataok’’ land to Larhomadhab. This inscription might be 13th century. Dr. Niharranjon Roy says, the inscription proves the Kingdom of Birdhor Dev at Samatata near Mainamoti in 11th -12th century BC. Is there any relation between Chandra and Birdhor? Who knows it? Rupban mura: Rupban Mura an important archaeological site of mainamati lying on a hillock just between the modern BARD and BDR establishments in the Kotbari area on the south of the Comilla-Kalirbazar road. Excavations have revealed here the remains of a remarkable semi-cruciform shrine of medium size (28.2m east - west, 28m north - south), together with a number of subsidiary structures, including an octagonal stupa and another one on a square base. A boundary wall within the oblong stupa courtyard encloses all these. Its regular entrance is on the east, facing the monastery entrance. Deep diggings have revealed three main periods of building and repairs and rebuilding, the earliest corresponding to c.6th-7th centuries AD. Very few remains of the latest period (10th-11th century AD) survive now in this very heavily disturbe site. The Cruciform Shrine Originally built as a solid stupa on a square base, it was subsequently converted into a semi-cruciform shrine in the second period (8th century AD). It has a peculiarity not noticed elsewhere. Instead of a single chapel built in each of the long arm of the cross, a group of three long narrow chapels was built in the eastern (front) side of the shrine. In the middle chapel the colossal stone Buddha, now exhibited in Mainamati Museum, was discovered. The same peculiarity is noticed in the adjacent Itakhola Mura grand stupa, also on the eastern side facing the entrance. Fragments of bronze images found in other chapels suggest installation of such images there The Monastery The small 34.1m square monastery of the site was built separately, 31m. south-east of the cruciform stupa. It has a prominent gateway complex (12.5m x 6.9m) projecting outwards in the middle of the northern wing. Built in the usual square plan, it originally had a total of 24 cells in four wings, subsequently reduced to 18 in the second period. The southern wing, occupying an area of 11.7m, was abandoned, due certainly to irreparable damages, and a row of new cells was built in its front, thus making the shape of the monastery oblong (34.1m x 24.8m). Corbelled niches and brick-built bedsteads can be noticed in the 2nd period cells. A broad corbelled drain was built in the courtyard to drain out rainwater Itakhola Mura : Itakhola Mura an archaeological site in mainamati. The site, like that of the kutilamura, is one of the most impressive ruins. It lies in three terraces on adjacent hillocks just opposite the rupbanmura site across the Kotbari road, Comilla. It served for a long time as a quarry for ancient bricks, hence the name. Excavations have revealed here a grand stupa complex with an attached monastery, located 42m to its north. The cultural phases of the site are stated (or overstated) to be five; the earlier three being still buried underneath the later remains. The Stupa Complex was originally built as a solid stupa in the traditional style on a 13.1m square basement. However, it has one peculiarity; a small sanctum (2.4m x 2.1m) built in the centre of its eastern or front side. Here a damaged life-size stucco image of Aksobhya was found in situ. This part of the monument was fairly well preserved, but unfortunately, its jungle-covered top was sliced off by the military a few decades back to build a rest house here. Subsequently, the shrine was enlarged and elaborated by additions and alterations, especially by adding three long narrow chapels in the eastern side after blocking the old sanctum; thus giving the structure an oblong shape (41.4m x 24m). In this particular feature, it is strikingly similar to the Rupban Mura shrine. The side chapels were ultimately blocked up, leaving space for a few cubicles for installing cult images, as in other parts of the shrine. This establishment is surrounded by a 2.6m wide circumambulatory passage and is enclosed by a 1.2m thick boundary wall. This holy precinct is again enclosed within a much larger, well-defined, and better preserved boundary wall (79 m x 56 m), in the slightly lower second terrace. It contains three interesting subsidiary shrines, two in two corners of the eastern side, and the other, a slightly larger one, at the back in the west. An elaborate entrance with 22 broad steps at the centre of the eastern side leads to the much lower third terrace. The outer face of its damaged boundary wall in this front side is excellently decorated with offsets, sunken panels, and ornamental designs. Five votive stupas lie at the base of the long staircase, three of them in a northsouth row within a well-defined enclosure, all semi-cruciform in shape, like that of the larger subsidiary shrines in the western side of the second terrace. They certainly represent an experimental early stage in the development of the cruciform style in Buddhist architecture that we see in mature form at shalvanvihara, paharpur, Vikramashila and many other sites. These structures may reasonably be dated as belonging to 7th-8th centuries AD. The Monastery This medium sized monastery of the usual square shape with 19 cells and one entrance hall was built around an open courtyard, 16.2m. square, on a separate mound. Its monumental gateway complex, 17.6m x 8.5m, projecting outwards, lies at the centre of the eastern wing. Some of the cells have brick-built bedsteads. This structure was badly damaged by brick-hunters in 1944-45. Mentionable antiquities from the site, besides the stucco image, are three round pellets of solid gold, (19 tolas), and a copperplate inscription, discovered during clearance work after the excavations. The copperplate has not yet been deciphered. Lotikot Mura The Side Is Locally Known As Lotikot Mura. But As A Result Of Excavation A Ground Plan Of A Buddhist Monastery Has Been Exposed Measuring 47.24m X 44.8m With 33 Monastic Cells. Hence It Is Now Renamed As Lotikotvihara. Two Construction Phases Main Approch Of The Monastery Was On The North. Inconsideration Of Exposed Architectural Remains Its Date May Be Assigned To 8th – 10th Century AD. LAlMAI PAHAR:Extreme point of Civilization Lalmai an isolated hill range, west of Comilla town, about 8 kilometres long and at its widest point 4.8 kilometres wide. The tract shows a spread of rolling uplands intersected by a number of depressions. Its highest peaks are over 46 meters. The northern portion of the hill range is called Mainamati hills, while the southern part is known as Lalmai hills. Fragments of fossil wood are more plentiful in the southern part of the hill range than the northern one. Archaeological expeditions were conducted in the Lalmai hill range in April 1989 and in July 1991. These resulted in the discovery of 11 prehistoric sites: Lalmai-1 Lalmai-2, Lila Mura and Takka Mura , Maharam Alir Bari, Tipra Mura, Mandara Mura, Maidhar Mura, Membarer Khil, Meher Kuler Mura, Takka Mura-2 and Sardarer Pahar. A huge number of artifacts obtained from these sites are made of fossil wood. They include : • handaxes (6), • chopping tools -3 • cleavers (4), • adzes (12), • a chisel (1), • celts (2), • blades/bladelets (46) • scrapers (98), • points (50), • borers (9), • burins (4), • utilised flakes (124), • flakes/cores (33) • and chips (43). The above list of artifacts suggests that they originate from a Neolithic industry. A small-scale excavation was carried out in 1991 at the slope of Lalmai -1 in an area measuring 1.5 × 1 m. The excavation yielded a few pieces of potsherds along with fossil wood artifacts. The pottery - a diagnostic trait of Neolithic culture - found at the site is in a very decayed condition and devoid of any design. Description of Hiuen Tsang: Hiuen Tsang was a Chinese pilgrim who came to India in the first half of the Seventh Century A.D. in order to visit the places of pilgrimage associated with Buddha. He stayed here for 15 years during which he travelled widely and closely observed the country and its people. On returning to China, he put down all his impressions in a book called Si- yu-ki or 'The Records of the Western World'. Hiuen Tsang is the student of Silavadra who was the chief chancellor of Nalanda University. Hiuen Tsang described the development of educational and cultural development in samatata. He came here in 639 bc. He comes here to visit the development of Buddhist development and temple in this janapada. According to his description, there had more than 30 vihara. He got a huge number of students about more than two thousand. He highly appreciates the culture achievement of this region. The “LO-TO-MO-CHI” vihara might the Shalbon vihara which is described by him. He wrote a songskrit literature named “ARJOBUDDHOVUMI-BEKHAN”. Here we has written that at “LO-TO-MO-CHI, vihara, music, drama, grammar, physiology architecture and printing had been taught. The Mythology: Story Behind The Story Myth does not deal with history. But there is a little smell of history on that. Here,we describe some mythology about ‘’Mainamoti-Lalmai.’The local people believe a story of ‘’Ramayana.’’ It is about the creation of Lalmai Hill.‘During the War of lanka, Laxman was very much injured by Kumvo Korno. Then the doctor, advised that, the leaf of ‘’Bisallokoroniyo’’ tree can only remove the pain otherwise Laxman will be died. After that the son of pobon ‘’Hanuman’’ goes for Himalaya where the tree was Hanuman didn’t identify the tree. So he went back lanka with Whole Mountain. Laxman got well. Hanuman went again for re-place the mountain in his head. But he was absent minded when he was at Lomlom Sea at comilla. A small part of the big mountain felt Lomlom Sea. Here create lalmai Hill. Myth about Lalmai-Mainamoti pond: ( Dev Dighi ) : Why it named lalmai-Mainamoti? A question may be raise in our mind. There are some local stories behind it. Long long ago a king had two daughters. 1st one is Lalmai and 2nd one Mainamoti by name. Mainamoti was a very pious lady. She devoted to God so much. She decide not to marry. But a giant want marry her by any means. Mainamoti didn’t agree to marry him at all. But the giant promised. Mainamoti was very clever. She gave a condition. The giant would dig a pond (about eight Accor) into a night before the chicken awake. The giant almost finished the work. But Mainamoti converted herself into chicken. The giant was very disappointed. He returned back. According to ‘’nath literature’’ Mainamoti was the mother ofking Gopichandra or she herself a queen. Therefore Mainamoti was a popular name in comilla region. How it contribute Bangladesh: Archaeological elements are the most powerful document. A culture or a civilization can be measured by its archaeological site. We have got our Bangladesh after a long liberation war. The born our country of was not easy process. It is the extreme sacrifice of million people’s blood. The development of this area began from the early age. So we are very much lucky that our beloved Bangladesh has a remarkable number of archaeological site. Our Paharpur, Lalmai-Mainnamoti are declared as “world heritage” by UNESCO. Many anthropologist think, life begin from Neolithic age at Mainamoti-Lalmai. It proves we are not a rootless nation. Bangladesh is now going to be known by the country of Mainamoti-Lalmai after the declaration of UNESCO. Here we have talked with the caretaker of archaeological department. They told us many foreign researcher, archaeologist, anthropologist and history lovers come here every year. It is a great surprise for the researcher. We would like to add a recent survey by a chines researcher. They identify the age of Lalmai hill and it is more than 5000 years. So, our visiting area Lalmai-Mainamoti contribute Bangladesh-  As a world heritage  As the root of our history  As a research topic  As a visiting place  Cultural significant  Natural beauty Future prospect: Mainamoti-Lalmai has a great value for future prospect. It also can be the archaeological center for us. It also can be a tourist centre. Which can be contributing in our national Economy.The present security condition of Mainamoti is not good enough. The visitors do not feel safe there. According to the archeological department, the income in economic year 2010-11 is about 5500000 taka but in 2011-12 it was 4000000 taka. The government should take necessary step for developing and safe our historical site for the upcoming generation. Mainamoti-Lalmai will be a extreme center of art, culture in future if it property under treatment. It is much important to take immediate steps or we will loss our identification our heritage. Our future generation will never know ,What is our root? How ancient our civilization is? Our experience; Our feelings: In our Childhood we might have read a poem named “Amar porichoy” by saiyed Samsul haque. “I born in Bangla I speak in Bangla I’m walking thousand years on the narrow and Slippy road of Bangla……. The fertile land is crossed by me 1300 rivers ask me Where from I come? I’ve come from the black Letter of ancient “CHARJAPADA” I’ve come from the navy of CHAND SAODAGOR I’ve come from the revolutionary Village of “”KOIBORTYA” I’ve come from the teraquata of “PALA dynasty” Oh, Bangali! You’ve come from the Buddhist vihara of Paharpur Oh, Bangali! You’ve come from the Temple of JORBANGLA Oh, Bangli You’ve come from the VARENDRA I’ve come from the independent “BARO BHUIYA” I’ve come from the “Liberation war of 71” I’m walking more than 1000 years. I’m Bangali as it my identification I never tolerate anyone I can’t forget my history I’m not such a stupid The sky is my inspiration The land is my heart.. (……..translated by Riad Arif) Yes, we got our identification at Buddhist vihara of mainamoti,At the ever green lalmai hill.It was a great experience for us to visit the Lalmai-Mainmoti”. Before visiting it actually we were not much concern about our history. But now we can proudly say that we are Bangali. We are not rootless. The every moment of our visiting, we deeply realize our history; our culture. We are now busy with city life and much prefers the western culture and tradition. Our young generation likes to think themselves as a “western and modern”. We hardly believe that the practice of westernization is not modernization. Modernization means to represent own culture from heart. Our visiting team tried to collect data, took interview of the inhabitant. We also talked with the officer of archaeological department. They provide us much information. We are so much grateful to our guide. These all made our journey much enjoyable. In our small life we have gathered a little experience but it was a great chance to develop our knowledge. Many of us ride hill for the first time. So they are little bit afraid. But a great excitement played with them. We are so much surprised. They lived in a civilized society before thousand years ago and they had a developed culture. These all about a matter of proud for us. We can’t imagine how ancient our culture is! How deep our heritage is! The ancient who lived here might be my forefather or might be not.
