Brief description of antiquities

The history of Pundra Badhan in ancient times, Barindra on the eve of Muslim conquest and Gaibandha Gaibandha district in present day northern Bangladesh has lost much of its ancient heritage. Vardhan Kuti is one of the examples. The exposed part of the ruined palace is decorated with various shady trees, the once dhokar mamat kshisshnu dalan kotha built by the artist's nipple hand in hand and the specially built Gobindaganj College today and Vardhan kutha bear witness to the future.

Name Karan: Many people think that Vardhan Kuthi located in Gobindaganj Tana Sadar was known as Prachin Badhan Kot. It has become very difficult for the present generation to reveal the significance of this place, which has not been expanded or has been destroyed in the course of time. The name of this place is Badhankot after Shaktidhar Narpati, a painter named Vardhan, during the period of painting. In naming, he also thinks that the place which is now known as Vardhankuti is a permanent settlement of one of the powerful Vardhana dynasty, North Suri S (later), then the name Badhankot or Badan Kuthi is formed from their lineage.

Location: The name of Vardhan Kot is also found in ancient texts. However, there is a complex problem in determining the location of Mardan Kot or Badan Kot described by Meen Haj E Siraj. Minhaj-e-Siraj in his famous book Tabkat-e-Nasiri gives some kind of description, from which it is easy to infer that today's Vardhan Kuti is the famous Badan Koti in history but he mentions a river flowing in front of this city. Due to its enormous size, this river is called Bak Moti. It is called Sundar (sea) in Hindustani language when it enters the land of Hindu place. It is three times bigger than Ganges river in size, volume and depth. Whether the Bakmati River is a Karatoya River at all or not, as is known from the Geography of Bangladesh, the original area of ​​Gaibandha was full of the Don River. And in this connection, the history of Bogra district states that in 642 AD, when the world-famous Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang went to Kamrup in the north-east from the area of ​​Paundra Badhan (former name of Mahasthan), he crossed a huge river.
