My Visit to a Place of Historical Importance Historical place means a place which bears testimony to history. Bangladesh is a land of historical importance. Everywhere there are places of historical interest. Visiting a historical place is truly interesting and exciting. Visits to such places have a great educative value too. Besides, it helps us to remove the dullness of mind which occurs from the monotonous classes. So, after the test examination being over, we visited Mahasthangarh, a place of historical interest. On 20 November 2019, we started for our visit. We were four in number. On the appointed day we all gathered at a pre-decided place named Gabtoli from where we went to Bogura by bus and stayed there at night. The following day after breakfast we set out for Mahasthangarh. It was only a few kilometres away from the town. We went there by rickshaw. When we reached Mahasthangarh, a glorious chapter of old history opened up before our eyes. We all were enchanted seeing such a historical place with our own eyes. Mahasthangarh was the site of Pundranagar. Pundranagar was the capital of the Mouryas, Guptas, Senas and other Hindu kings. The old city was about 2000 metres long and 1500 metres wide and was surrounded by a wall. Once it was a very flourishing city. Mahasthangarh stands on the western bank of the river Korotoa. There are some elevated places near Mahasthangarh. These places are known as 'Vitas^{\prime}, 'Kundus^{\prime}, 'Ghous^{\prime} and 'Dhaps^{\prime}. One part of the dried river is known as the ghat of Kankabati. There is a museum at Mahasthangarh. Some images, dice, ornaments and pots excavated from Mahasthangarh have been kept in the museum. We saw all the relics of the past and learnt a lot of things about our past civilization. We spent the day at Mahasthangarh and started back for Bogura in the evening. The following day after breakfast we set out for Dhaka. A visit to a place of historical interest is always interesting and appealing to me. It was a great pleasure for me to be at Mahasthangarh. It was indeed a rewarding visit. It is still fresh in my memory.
