HOLUD VIHARA

Halud Vihara  located between the Tulshiganga and Jamuna rivers in Vilasbadi Union of badalgachhi upazila, fifteen km south of paharpur Buddhist Monastery, fifty km northwest of mahasthan, and eighteen km north of Naogaon town. There are many scattered ancient mounds at Halud Vihara village. These remains occupy a large area, but they have been considerably encroached and destroyed by local people. This entire village, also locally known as Dvipganj, is profusely littered with old bricks, potsherds and other cultural debris. These old mounds and the name of the village suggest that there are remains of a flourishing ancient Buddhist settlement.
