What you can see and do
Sitakot Vihara in Nawabganj, Dinajpur, is the archaeological remains of an old Buddhist monastery. Its brick plan still shows rooms for monks around the sides, an inner corridor and a central courtyard. Excavations have recovered artefacts including bronze Bodhisattva figures. The main visit is reading the layout of the ruins; do not climb on or remove bricks.
