An archaeological site in Bangladesh

The Gokul Medh is also known as "Behular Bashor ghor". This is located at the village Gokul of the Bogra town. It's around 11 kilometer apart from the main town, and it's a part of the Mahasthangarh. This is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries from the Bogra.

Excavation was conducted in the site in 1934-36. It revealed ruins of a 42 feet high platform consisted of 172 blind cells. On the flat of top of this platform a Buddhist religious establishment (Stupa / Mandir) was built in the first constructional period (C.6th-7th Century A.D) another temple was built on the ruins of the former. Subsequently, the floor of the temple was raised for some unknown reason.

However, a human skeleton, a masonry hole (10 Feet), a fragmentary stone, a golden leaf inscribed with a bull also came out from the above mentioned hole from the excavated evidences the building appears to have been discovered with ornamentals, bricks, containing geometrical designs and floral. 

Lakkhindar was cursed, and it was, he will die during the first night after his marriage by the bite of a deadly poisonous snake. That's why he has built a house and it was only a small hole, and through it only the needle can pass. But that couldn't save his life. But this myth doesn't have any authentication.

Actually it's a Buddhist temple that built for the prayer. But during the excavation that was operated by the Bangladesh Government, a skeleton of a human was found from here. From my guess, it was established from the local people's belief about Behula more strongly.
