Palace of king Bhoj – Comilla

Palace of king Bhoj (or Bhoj rajar bihar) is near to the Itakhola Mura and previously I visited that place during 2010 and didn’t notice this one. In fact I didn’t have any map on my cell phone at that time. But this time I was having a smart device that shows an archaeological site near to this Itakhola Mura. So we have given a try to explore this area.

This archaeological site is known as Palace of king Bhoj that falls inside the boundary of Army cantonment. I do not know much about its history but locally the site is known as Bhoj Rajar Bihar or Bhoj bihar. It could be a praying place or a house of the King Bhoj. The whole premise is square shaped and has a central shrine in the middle.

We were tired when we have reached there due to the hot weather. We were sitting on top of the Bihar and was enjoying the silence. There weren’t any tourists out there that time. During our staying we have seen only a group of boys were exploring the area and moved for another place quickly after their observation! Probably they didn’t like the place (or thought had enough).
