Mogalmari Bauddha Mahavihara:
The excavation of Mogalmari Bauddha Vihara began in 2003-04 under Prof. Asok Datta of the University of Calcutta. Successive excavations revealed an extensive monastery with brick walls, monks’ cells, gateways, stupas, pradakshina paths and exquisite stucco art. Archaeological evidence traced the earliest Vihara to around the 6th century CE, with major rebuilding during the 9th-10th centuries CE. Terracotta seals, inscriptions, Buddhist hymns, coins and images established Mogalmari as an important centre of Buddhist learning and worship. The discovery of seals naming Yajñapindika Mahavihara and Mugalayika Viharika gave the ancient monastic complex its historical identity. In 2015-16, the remarkable discovery of 95 bronze images further highlighted its rich Buddhist heritage. Today, Mogalmari stands as one of West Bengal’s significant early medieval Buddhist archaeological sites, preserving centuries of spirituality, scholarship and art.

Feedback From Visitors
Mogalmari Bauddha Mahavihara is a fascinating archaeological site that quietly showcases the deep Buddhist heritage of Bengal. Tucked away near Paschim Medinipur, this place feels like a hidden chapter of history waiting to be explored.

Moghalmari Buddhist Monastery Ruins is a remarkable archaeological site dating back to the Mauryan period. It's a tranquil spot where history comes alive through the remnants of ancient structures.
Sayantika Dasgupta
Local Guide
This place is very underrated. It's one of the best Ancient Buddhist Monastery ruins excavated from the ground. They say there is an ancient city under the present village area. The whole place is huge.

The monument's restoration is poorly executed, with the glass railings and wooden pathway being particularly disastrous. The museum's appearance is unattractive, and its facade needs updating to respect the site's significance. An architect with expertise in such restoration work should be consulted.
