About
Gokul Medh, located in Bogra, Bangladesh, is an excavated archaeological site featuring the base of a Buddhist stupa built in the 7th century CE. The stupa's terraced cellular construction consists of 172 tightly packed blind rectangular cells arranged in tiers, supporting a polygonal shrine. The site also contains terracotta plaques from the late Gupta period, indicating its historical significance. During the Sena period, a square temple was added, suggesting continued religious use. A central stone slab with depressions and a gold leaf depicting a recumbent bull implies the site's use as a Shiva temple at some point. Gokul Medh serves as a testament to the region's diverse religious and cultural history, reflecting the architectural and artistic developments of its time.
