    Itakhola MuraĀ an archaeological site inĀ mainamati. The site, like that of theĀ kutila mura, is one of the most impressive ruins. It lies in three terraces on adjacent hillocks just opposite theĀ rupban muraĀ site across the Kotbari road, Comilla. It served for a long time as a quarry for ancient bricks, hence the name. Excavations have revealed here a grandĀ stupaĀ complex with an attached monastery, located 42m to its north. The cultural phases of the site are stated (or overstated) to be five; the earlier three being still buried underneath the later remains. ļæ¼Itakhola Mura The Stupa ComplexĀ was originally built as a solid stupa in the traditional style on a 13.1m square basement. However, it has one peculiarity; a small sanctum (2.4m ' 2.1m) built in the centre of its eastern or front side. Here a damaged life-size stucco image of Aksobhya was found in situ. This part of the monument was fairly well preserved, but unfortunately, its jungle-covered top was sliced off by the military a few decades back to build a rest house here. Subsequently, the shrine was enlarged and elaborated by additions and alterations, especially by adding three long narrow chapels in the eastern side after blocking the old sanctum; thus giving the structure an oblong shape (41.4m Ɨ 24m). In this particular feature, it is strikingly similar to the Rupban Mura shrine. The side chapels were ultimately blocked up, leaving space for a few cubicles for installing cult images, as in other parts of the shrine. This establishment is surrounded by a 2.6m wide circumambulatory passage and is enclosed by a 1.2m thick boundary wall.

    Itakhola Mura is an archaeological site in Mainamati. This site is one of the most impressive ruins. It lies in three terraces on adjacent hillocks just opposite theĀ Rupban MuraĀ site across the Kotbari road in Comilla. As a result of excavation a ground plan of an east facing Buddhist temple has been exposed. Five building and rebuilding phases have been found in the temple. Besides this the remains of a Vihara has been exposed on the northern side of the temple. Among the discovered antiquities areĀ 18 tolaĀ solid gold, one silver coin, and a copper plate is noteworthy. Besides these a bust of a large size stucco image which is stillĀ insitu. In consideration of the antiquities and architectural features the temple may be dated in 7th to 12th century A.D.

    Itakhola mura is situated near kotbari, besides cantonment board school. Situated at top of hill. Here you can find two more muras named lotikot mura & rupban mura just at walking distance. These are the archaeological sites. It opens all day long. try to come early morning because at that time it is quite silent & calm. You can enjoy it alone.

    Itakhola mura is small considering other big vihara in this area but pretty unique in its way. There's a half Buddha statue in the middle. During the excavation, there were many ancient artifacts made of gold and silver were discovered. It was thought to be built in the 7th-12th century. ā—¼ļø Wheelchair isn't accessible. ā—¼ļø No parking space.
