so peaceful!!! Loved it!

Birth place of famous Buddhist religious preacher Atish Dipankar, apart from that Nothing special; the place is small, the area will be completed by 5-10 mins walk; yet full with plenty of flowers, which is best part of this complex.

The reason for setting up this memorial complex is not being served at all, no photos, no history explanation not even any used utensils of late Atish Dipankar are here.
No pure drinking water is available, washrooms condition is worse, since they are charging entry fee, these facilities should be added.

Entry fee: 10 Tk.
NB: as this place is in remote area, pls take you own vehicle or take the auto/ rickshaw for round trip.
Carry water, snacks with you as no shops are available nearby.
