"Evidence of the rise of Mahayana Buddhism in Bengal from the 7th century onwards, Somapura Mahavira, or the Great Monastery, was a renowned intellectual centre until the 12th century. Its layout perfectly adapted to its religious function, this monastery-city represents a unique artistic achievement. With its simple, harmonious lines and its profusion of carved decoration, it influenced Buddhist architecture as far away as Cambodia." -https://whc.unesco.org
Thank you so much Aditi for this wonderful postcard showing
the Somapura Mahavihara, which is considered
a very important archaeological site in Bangladesh.
I so like the wonderful stamps you used too! Thank you!
I thought this card wouldn't reach me...
It was misspent to Thailand... ^-^
