Mainamati is the most attractive tourist spot in Comilla, Bangladesh . About eight kilometers west of the Comilla town among the range of low hills known as Mainamati-Lalmai Bridge.It is famous as an important centre of Buddhist culture from the 7th to 12th centuries, the buildings built here were made wholly of baked bricks. There are more than 50 scattered Buddhist sites, but the three most important are Salban Vihar, Kotila Mura and Charpatra Mura.
Salban Vihara was a well-planned, 170 sq metre monastery facing a temple in the centre of the courtyard. Nearby is a museum housing the finds excavated here, which include terracotta Plaques, bronze statues, a bronze casket, coins, jewellery and votive stupas embossed with Buddhist inscriptions. Kotila Mura comprises three large stupas representing Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the `Three Jewels of Buddhism'. The most important discovery at Charpatra Mura were the four royal copper-plate decrees, three belonging to Chandra rulers, the other to Sri Viradhara Deva, a later Hindu king. Note that some of the major ruins are within a military cantonment and cannot be visited without permission from military officers.
