Paharpur an important archaeological site in Bangladesh, situated in a village named Paharpur (Pahadpur) under the Badalgachhi Upazila of Naogaon district. The village is connected with the nearby Railway station Jamalganj, the district town Naogaon and Jaipurhat town by metalled roads. It is in the midst of alluvial flat plain of northern Bangladesh. In contrast to the monotonous level of the plain, stands the ruins of the lofty (about 24m high from the surrounding level) ancient temple which was covered with jungle, locally called Pahar or hill from which the palace got the name of Paharpur.

Paharpur is one of the best tourist places here in Naogaon. If you visit early morning like 10 am, there will be less people, less crowd, less sunlight and if your luck is good there will be some gentle breeze. The overall environment was so fresh and charming. You can visit there alone if you want some inner peace and also can visit with your friends and family for a quality time spending. There is food cart, some places to sit and the museum was also so good. You can see old historical things there.

Security is also quite satisfying. However, they should keep guides who will make sure everyone understands the place more.

(Naogaon) Paharpur part-1 I have Visited many ancient archeological sites but I have never been so captivated as "Moon-Mountain"! Wait No... Perhaps I would say, the artistic craft of the terracotta plaques of the "Kantawji Temple" was magnificent and so was the location of the temple. But... The unspoken history behind the vastness and inquisitive construction style of "Sompur Bihar" is extremely fascinating and intriguing. I wish ... If only someone would make a film on its history it would be no less wonderful than movies like Padmavati, Ashoka or Bajirao Mastani.

It's going down day by day but you can enjoy.people around sompur Mahavihara so much helpful and enjoyed.

Historical and beautiful place. If you have plan visit Bangladesh don’t miss this place. Road communication is fine, Dhaka to Jaypurhat by Bus or intetcity train than you can use rent a car or aotu rickshaw. Turist police available here for security. Low cost hotel here also. I strongly to suggest you can night stay @ Joypurhat City.

Sri Dharmapaladeva, the second king of the Pala dynasty, was building this monastery in the late eighth or ninth century. Sir Cunningham discovered this great feat in 179. In 1985, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. Paharpur can be called the largest Buddhist monastery in the world. In size it can be compared to Nalanda Mahavihara in India. It has been a very famous Buddhist center for 300 years. Not only from different parts of the subcontinent, but also from China, Tibet, Myanmar (then Burma), Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., Buddhists used to come here to practice religion and acquire theology. Atish Dipankar Srigyan was the Acharya of Bihar in the 10th century AD. Somapura Mahavihara was located between Pundranagar (now Mahasthan), the capital of Pundravardhana, and another city, Kotivarsha (present-day Bangarh). Its ruins are located at Paharpur village in Badalgachhi upazila of Naogaon district in present day Bangladesh. On the other hand, its distance from Jamalganj railway station in Joypurhat district is only 5 km to the west. Its geographical position is 25 ´ 06 north to 25 ° 157 north latitude and 8 ৮৮ 508 east to 89 ৮ 107 east longitude. The antiquities cover an area of ​​about 0.10 sq km (10 ha) in the village. The land plan of this archeological pattern is quadrangular in shape. It is located in the flood plain of North Bengal, Bangladesh, in the lowlands of the Pleistocene period called Barindra. The soil is reddish due to the presence of iron in the soil. However, at present this soil is covered with sediment in most places. It survives as a hill-like structure about 30.30 m above the surrounding plains. The locals used to call it 'Gopal Chitaar Pahar'. Since then it has been called Paharpur, although its real name is Sompur Bihar. Hiuen Tsang came to Pundravardhana in the middle of the 7th century and there is no mention of the monastery and temple at Sompur in his details. Gopal's son Dharmapala (61-622 AD) ascended the throne and ruled for a long time, extending the kingdom beyond Bengal Bihar to Gandhara on the north-western border of Pakistan. Emperor Dharmapala was a devout Buddhist and he founded Vikramshila and Sompur monasteries. According to another, the author of the famous Tibetan history book "Pag Sam Zone Zhang" very explicitly mentions the huge monastery and high temple built at Somapura by Dharmapala's son Devapala (610-650). It is mentioned in various inscriptions that the monks of Somapura Bihar used to donate money and gems to various Indian Buddhist pilgrimage sites like Nalanda, Buddhagaya etc. which indicate a prosperous condition in the 10th-11th centuries. Apart from Sompur Bihar under the patronage of the Pala kings till the 9th century, there are mentions of Agrapur (Agradigun of Rajshahi), Ushmapur, Gotpur, Etpur and Jagddal (Jagdal of Rajshahi) Bihar. Towards the end of the 9th century, Gurjar Raj made the first feast and Mahendra Pal caused special damage to the Pala Empire. Later, in the late 10th century, King Mahipal (995-1043) of the Pala dynasty restored the empire and repaired the Sompur monastery. But after the death of Mahipala and his son Nayapal, the decline of the Pala dynasty began again. On this occasion, a native Kaivarta feudal lord named Chedi Raj Karna, Cholaraj Rajendra and Dibbo of Central India invaded the Barind land one after another. The mention of the destruction of the Paharpur temple and monastery at Nalanda is probably an attack of this period. In the 11th century, Rampal of the Pala dynasty restored the kingdom of the heart. Bengal was conquered by the Sena kings from the Deccan in the 12th century. Somapura lost royal patronage to them. At this time the fall of Sompur began for the last time. At the beginning of the 13th century, Ikhtiyaruddin Muhammad-bin-Bakhtiyar Khilji invaded Bengal and occupied almost all of North Bengal. Probably due to the anti-idol attitude of these Muslim rulers, these Buddhist monasteries and temples were completely destroyed. The land-plan of the Buddhist monastery is quadrangular. The north and south sides are 263.8 m each and the east and west sides are 264.15 m. It was surrounded by wide boundary walls. There were small rooms lined up on the inside along the boundary walls. There are 45 rooms on the north side and 44 rooms on the other three sides. Three floors of these rooms have been discovered. Thick suraki on the bricks laid on each floor (Original) পাহাড়পুর পাহাড়পুর বৌদ্ধবিহার বা সোমপুর বিহার বা সোমপুর মহাবিহার বর্তমানে ধ্বংসপ্রাপ্ত একটি প্রাচীন বৌদ্ধ বিহার। পালবংশের দ্বিতীয় রাজা শ্রী ধর্মপালদেব অষ্টম শতকের শেষের দিকে বা নবম শতকে এই বিহার তৈরি করছিলেন। ১৮৭৯ সালে স্যার কানিংহাম এই বিশাল কীর্তি আবিষ্কার করেন। ১৯৮৫ সালে ইউনেস্কো এটিকে বিশ্ব ঐতিহ্যবাহী স্থানের মর্যাদা দেয়। পাহাড়পুরকে পৃথিবীর সবচেয়ে বড় বৌদ্ধবিহার বলা যেতে পারে। আয়তনে এর সাথে ভারতের নালন্দা মহাবিহারের তুলনা হতে পারে। এটি ৩০০ বছর ধরে বৌদ্ধদের অতি বিখ্যাত ধর্মচর্চা কেন্দ্র ছিল। শুধু উপমহাদেশের বিভিন্ন স্থান থেকেই নয়, চীন, তিব্বত, মায়ানমার ( তদানীন্তন ব্রহ্মদেশ), মালয়েশিয়া, ইন্দোনেশিয়া প্রভৃতি দেশের বৌদ্ধরা এখানে ধর্মচর্চা ও ধর্মজ্ঞান অর্জন করতে আসতেন। খ্রিষ্টীয় দশম শতকে বিহারের আচার্য ছিলে অতীশ দীপঙ্কর শ্রীজ্ঞান। পুন্ড্রবর্ধনের রাজধানী পুন্ড্রনগর (বর্তমান মহাস্থান) এবং অপর শহর কোটিবর্ষ (বর্তমান বানগড়)এর মাঝামাঝি স্থানে অবস্থিত ছিল সোমপুর মহাবিহার। এর ধ্বংসাবশেষটি বর্তমান বাংলাদেশের বৃহত্তর রাজশাহীর অন্তর্গত নওগাঁ জেলার বদলগাছি উপজেলার পাহাড়পুর গ্রামে অবস্থিত। অপর দিকে জয়পুরহাট জেলার জামালগঞ্জ রেলস্টেশন থেকে এর দূরত্ব পশ্চিমদিকে মাত্র ৫ কিমি। এর ভৌগোলিক অবস্থান ২৫°০´ উত্তর থেকে ২৫°১৫´ উত্তর অক্ষাংশ এবং ৮৮°৫০´ পূর্ব থেকে ৮৯°১০´ পূর্ব দ্রাঘিমাংশ পর্যন্ত। গ্রামের মধ্যে প্রায় ০.১০ বর্গ কিলোমিটার (১০ হেক্টর) অঞ্চল জুড়ে এই পুরাকীর্তিটি অবস্থিত। প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিক এই নিদর্শনটির ভূমি পরিকল্পনা চতুর্ভূজ আকৃতির। এটি বাংলাদেশের উত্তরবঙ্গের প্লাবন সমভূমিতে অবস্থিত, প্লাইস্টোসীন যুগের বরেন্দ্র নামক অনুচ্চ এলাকার অন্তর্ভুক্ত। মাটিতে লৌহজাত পদার্থের উপস্থিতির কারণে মাটি লালচে। অবশ্য বর্তমানে এ মাটি অধিকাংশ স্থানে পললের নিচে ঢাকা পড়েছে। পার্শ্ববর্তী সমতল ভূমি থেকে প্রায় ৩০.৩০ মিটার উচুতে অবস্থিত পাহাড় সদৃশ স্থাপনা হিসেবে এটি টিকে রয়েছে। স্থানীয় লোকজন একে 'গোপাল চিতার পাহাড়' আখ্যায়িত করত। সেই থেকেই এর নাম হয়েছে পাহাড়পুর, যদিও এর প্রকৃত নাম সোমপুর বিহার। ৭ম শতাব্দীর মাঝামাঝিতে হিউয়েন ৎসাং পুন্ড্রবর্ধনে আসেন ও তার বিস্তারিত বিবরণে সোমপুরের বিহার ও মন্দিরের কোন উল্লেখ নেই। গোপালের পুত্র ধর্মপাল (৭৮১ - ৮২২ খ্রি) সিংহাসনে আরোহণ করে দীর্ঘকাল রাজত্ব করেন ও রাজ্যকে বাংলা বিহার ছাড়িয়ে পাকিস্তানের উত্তর - পশ্চিম সীমান্তের গান্ধার পর্যন্ত বিস্তৃত করেন। সম্রাট ধর্মপাল অনেক নিষ্ঠাবান বৌদ্ধ ছিলেন ও তিনিই বিক্রমশীলা ও সোমপুর বিহার প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন। অন্য মতে, বিখ্যাত তিব্বতীয় ইতিহাস গ্রন্থ "পাগ সাম জোন ঝাং" এর লেখক অত্যন্ত সুস্পষ্টভাবে ধর্মপালের পুত্র দেবপাল (৮১০-৮৫০)কর্তৃক সোমপুরে নির্মিত বিশাল বিহার ও সুউচ্চ মন্দিরের উল্লেখ করেছেন। সোমপুর বিহারের ভিক্ষুরা নালন্দা, বুদ্ধগয়া প্রভৃতি ভারতীয় বিভিন্ন বৌদ্ধ তীর্থস্থানে অর্থ ও ধন রত্ন দান করতেন বলে বিভিন্ন লিপিতে উল্লেখ করা আছে যা ১০ - ১১শ শতাব্দীতে সমৃদ্ধশীল অবস্থার ইঙ্গিত বহন করে। এছাড়া ৯ম শতাব্দী পর্যন্ত পাল রাজাদের পৃষ্ঠপোষকতায় সোমপুর বিহার ছাড়াও অগ্রপুর (রাজশাহীর অগ্রাদিগুণ), উষ্মপুর, গোটপুর, এতপুর ও জগদ্দল ( রাজশাহীর জগদল) বিহারের উল্লেখ পাওয়া যায়। ৯ম শতাব্দীর শেষভাগে গুর্জর রাজ প্রথম ভোজ ও মহেন্দ্র পাল, পাল সাম্রাজ্যের বিশেষ ক্ষতিসাধন করেন। পরে ১০ম শতাব্দীর শেষভাগে পাল বংশীয় রাজা মহীপাল (৯৯৫ - ১০৪৩) সাম্রাজ্য পুনরুদ্ধার করেন ও সোমপুর বিহার মেরামত করেন। কিন্তু মহীপাল ও তার পুত্র নয়াপালের মৃত্যুর পর আবার পাল বংশের পতন শুরু হয়। এই সুযোগে মধ্যভারতের চেদীরাজ কর্ণ, চোলরাজ রাজেন্দ্র ও দিব্বো নামের এক দেশীয় কৈবর্ত সামন্ত নরপতি পর পর বরেন্দ্রভূমি আক্রমণ করেন। নালন্দায় পাহাড়পুর মন্দির ও বিহার ধ্বংসের উল্লেখ সম্ভবত এ সময়ের আক্রমণের। ১১শ শতাব্দীতে পাল বংশীয় রামপাল হৃতরাজ্য পুনরুদ্ধার করেন। ১২শ শতাব্দীতে দাক্ষিণাত্যের কর্ণাট থেকে আগত সেন রাজারা বাংলা দখল করেন। তাদের নিকটে রাজকীয় পৃষ্ঠপোষকতা হারায় সোমপুর। এ সময় শেষবারের মত সোমপুরের পতন শুরু হয়। ১৩শ শতাব্দীর শুরুতে ইখতিয়ারউদ্দিন মুহম্মদ - বিন - বখতিয়ার খিলজী বাংলায় আক্রমণ করে প্রায় উত্তরবঙ্গই দখল করেন। সম্ভবত এই মুসলমান শাসকদের মূর্তিবিরোধী মনোভাবের ফলেই বৌদ্ধদের এই বিহার ও মন্দির সম্পূর্ণ রূপে ধ্বংস হয়ে যায়। বৌদ্ধ বিহারটির ভূমি-পরিকল্পনা চতুষ্কোনাকার। উত্তর ও দক্ষিণ বাহুদ্বয় প্রতিটি ২৭৩.৭ মি এবং পূর্ব ও পশ্চিম বাহুদ্বয় ২৭৪.১৫ মি। এর চারদিক চওড়া সীমানা দেয়াল দিয়ে ঘেরা ছিল। সীমানা দেয়াল বরাবর অভ্যন্তর ভাগে সারিবদ্ধ ছোট ছোট কক্ষ ছিল। উত্তর দিকের বাহুতে ৪৫টি এবং অন্য তিন দিকের বাহুতে রয়েছে ৪৪টি করে কক্ষ। এই কক্ষগুলোর তিনটি মেঝে আবিষ্কৃত হয়েছে। প্রতিটি মেঝে বিছানো ইঁটের ওপর পুরু সুরকী দ

This is heritage spot. We enjoying it and visiting after twenty years. My son FARAAZ was delighted to visit here.

Nice ancient place for visiting.

Somopur Mahavihara is a nice Heritage place

Just glad to visited that place. This place is very beautiful naturally and also have a good view of history. Passed a very nice time there with my budies.

A place of historical interest. It requires more attention from Bangladesh Govt. to attract visitors and generate revenue. The staircases are broken and damaged that's why visitors can't visit the temple wholly.

The place has a lot of historic significant. Went there with colleagues for a short tour. Enjoyed the place. The place is well decorated but the washrooms are not. We had some foreign guests with us and they why do we have to pay for the washrooms when it's disgusting inside.

nice place to visit.... fully histrical destination... you can chill in a totally clam and peaceful environment... the place is very beautiful.... i love this place... bird sound, histrical monument, trees, garden all things make ghe place very charmful and relaxing to all.... you can make it your holiday destination... perfect place for family tour.... food shop are also available here... you can park your vehicle here.... you can also trees and garden beside it... really awesome...

Somapura Mahavihara is a mesmerizing ancient site! The intricate architecture and historical significance make it a must-visit destination. Walking among the ruins transports you to a bygone era of Buddhist culture and learning. A true gem of Bangladesh's heritage. Highly recommended for history lovers and travelers seeking a unique experience. 🏛️🌟 #SomapuraMahavihara #AncientTreasure

Historical place.

Paharpur Buddhist Vihara or Sompur Vihar or Sompur Mahavihar is an ancient Buddhist Vihara which is now destroyed . Sri Dharmapala Deva (781-821), the second king of the Palavansh dynasty , was building this vihara in the late 8th or 9th century. Sir Alexander Cunningham discovered this huge structure in 1879 AD .

Somapura Mahavihara, the Great Monastery evidences the rise of Maharaja Buddhism in Bengal from the 7 th century onwards. It became a renowned centre of Buddhist religion and culture during the royal Patronage of Pala Dynasty and was a renowned intellectual centre until the 17 th century.

Somapura Mahavihara, a timeless sanctuary of wisdom and grace, captivates the soul with its ancient beauty and profound serenity. Each step echoes the whispers of a bygone era, inviting reverence for the intricate tales etched in its historic walls. A visit, a serene journey through the corridors of time.

This place is a proper combination of culture, history, art, and archaeology. This is one of the very few world heritage sites in Bangladesh. Ticket cost is cheap, well decorated and planned site management, clean and ecotourism management system build this historical site unique. It's also a good source of experience in the past and to imagine the socioeconomic conditions back at that time.

Historical Place in Naogaon. Awesome!!!

This is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in our country. On a large green grassy field, the red brown structure of Sompur Mahavihara's views is really Awesome !!! Ideal place for visit with family , fiends and solo! There is a museum in the site. Secure place with good toilet facilities both male & female. But no good food available here!

one of the most ancient and significant archaeological site in Bangladesh. This place were used as educational institution along with residential places for Buddhist scholars earlier in Buddhist era. Very splendid and mind blowing architectural structure with precise geometric shape and very sophisticated building mechanism has made it one of the most prominent historical site. It tells the unknown civilisation and cultures of old Bengals, the life story of ancient Buddhist monks and sages and it will certainly remind the vast knowledge cultures of our destroyed civilisation.

One of the most beautiful/popular historical archeological travel spots in Bangladesh.

I went here two times. It is s landmark of Naogaon District. It was the most important place for Buddhists to practice their religion. There is currently an archeological museum here. Many old idols found in this Buddhist monastery are preserved in this museum.

Sompur Bihar is a historical place. If you are seeking for knowledge, this place can surprise you. This is one of the perfect place to know about ancient history

Sompur Bihar is one of the historical places of Bangladesh.

Not only from different parts of the subcontinent, but also from China, Tibet, Myanmar (then Burma), Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., Buddhists used to come here to acquire religious knowledge.

It is one of the best historical place in Bangladesh to visit. It was one of the five institution/university built by King Pal in 8th century. It was active upto 12th century and destroyed by continuous attacks of Bongo Bahini (Islamist).

Historical monument of this country reflects the rich culture ...a must see tourist spot while visiting the North Bengal at Joipurhat... recollecting the sweet memories of my visit at this place in 1988 in a study tour organised by Institute of Forestry , CU.

A number of monasteries grew up during the Pāla period in ancient India in the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, comprising Bengal and Magadha. According to Tibetan sources, five great Mahaviharas (universities) stood out: Vikramashila, the premier university of the era; Nalanda, past its prime but still illustrious; Somapura Mahavihara; Odantapurā; and Jaggadala. The mahaviharas formed a network; "all of them were under state supervision" and there existed "a system of co-ordination among them ... it seems from the evidence that the different seats of Buddhist learning that functioned in eastern India under the Pāla were regarded together as forming a network, an interlinked group of institutions," and it was common for great scholars to move easily from position to position among them. Xuanzang of China was a noted scholar who resided at the Somapura Mahavihara (the largest university in ancient India), and Atisa traveled from Bengal to Tibet to preach Buddhism. The earliest form of the Bengali language began to the emerge during the eighth century. The excavation at Paharpur, and the finding of seals bearing the inscription Shri-Somapure-Shri-Dharmapaladeva-Mahavihariyarya-bhiksu-sangghasya, has identified the Somapura Mahavihara as built by the second Pala king Dharmapala (circa 781–821) of Pāla Dynasty.Tibetan sources, including Tibetan translations of Dharmakayavidhi and Madhyamaka Ratnapradipa, Taranatha's history and Pag-Sam-Jon-Zang, mention that Dharmapala's successor Devapala (circa 810–850) built it after his conquest of Varendra. The Paharpur pillar inscription bears the mention of 5th regnal year of Devapala's successor Mahendrapala (circa 850–854) along with the name of Bhiksu Ajayagarbha. Taranatha's Pag Sam Jon Zang records that the monastery was repaired during the reign of Mahipala (circa 995–1043 AD). The Nalanda inscription of Vipulashrimitra records that the monastery was destroyed by fire, which also killed Vipulashrimitra's ancestor Karunashrimitra, during a conquest by the Vanga army in the 11th century. Over time Atisha's spiritual preceptor, Ratnakara Shanti, served as a sthavira of the vihara, Mahapanditacharya Bodhibhadra served as a resident monk, and other scholars spent part of their lives at the monastery, including Kalamahapada, Viryendra and Karunashrimitra. Many Tibetan monks visited the Somapura between the 9th and 12th centuries. During the rule of the Sena dynasty, known as Karnatadeshatagata Brahmaksatriya, in the second half of the 12th century the vihara started to decline for the last time. One scholar writes, "The ruins of the temple and monasteries at Pāhāpur do not bear any evident marks of large-scale destruction. The downfall of the establishment, by desertion or destruction, must have been sometime in the midst of the widespread unrest and displacement of population consequent on the Muslim invasion." A copperplate dated to 159 Gupta Era (479 AD) discovered in 1927 in the northeast corner of the monastery, mentions donation of a Brahmin couple to Jain Acharya Guhanandi of Pancha-stupa Nikayaat Vata Gohli, identifiable as the neighbouring village of Goalapara

The ancillary support system is very poor. Mismanagement started from ticket counter to public washroom. Most of the person who are involved in maintenance, are very unprofessional. The custodian of this complex is totally unaware what is happening around.

Paharpur/Somapura Mahavihara, covering 11 hectares (27 acres)(Ref: Wikipedia)is among the best known Buddhist viharas or monasteries in the Indian Subcontinent and is one of the most important archaeological sites in Bangladesh. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. It is one of the most famous examples of architecture in pre-Islamic Bangladesh. The structure consists of 177 cells/rooms and a traditional Buddhist stupa in the centre. The rooms were used by the monks for accommodation and meditation.

It is an ancient Buddhist temple which indicates the past lifestyle, culture, education of Buddhist monks. The structure is very old and contains various artworks. The place is monitored by the govt of Bangladesh and in recent years a guest house restaurant are built and the surroundings are well decorated. Good place to visit and will worth your time

The Buddhist Vihara in Paharpur is a captivating testament to ancient architectural and spiritual grandeur. Its colossal structure, dating back to the 8th century, exudes a serene aura, inviting visitors to step into a bygone era of Buddhist enlightenment. The intricate carvings on the walls and the layout of the vihara are a mesmerizing glimpse into the artistic and cultural brilliance of the time. Walking through the ruins, one can't help but feel a deep connection to the past, where monks once sought knowledge and solace. A visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an enriching experience that offers a profound insight into the rich heritage of the region and the enduring legacy of Buddhism.

প্রাচীন বিহার A number of monasteries grew up during the Pāla period in ancient India in the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, comprising Bengal and Magadha. According to Tibetan sources, five great Mahaviharas (universities) stood out: Vikramashila, the premier university of the era; Nalanda, past its prime but still illustrious; Somapura Mahavihara; Odantapurā; and Jaggadala.[2] The mahaviharas formed a network; "all of them were under state supervision" and there existed "a system of co-ordination among them ... it seems from the evidence that the different seats of Buddhist learning that functioned in eastern India under the Pāla were regarded together as forming a network, an interlinked group of institutions," and it was common for great scholars to move easily from position to position among them.[3] Atisa, who resided at the Somapura Mahavihara (the largest university in ancient India at that time), traveled from Bengal to Tibet to preach Buddhism. The earliest form of the Bengali language began to the emerge during the eighth century. The excavation at Paharpur, and the finding of seals bearing the inscription Shri-Somapure-Shri-Dharmapaladeva-Mahavihariyarya-bhiksu-sangghasya, has identified the Somapura Mahavihara as built by the second Pala king Dharmapala (circa 781–821) of Pāla Dynasty.[4] Tibetan sources, including Tibetan translations of Dharmakayavidhi and Madhyamaka Ratnapradipa, Taranatha's history and Pag-Sam-Jon-Zang, mention that Dharmapala's successor Devapala (circa 810–850) built it after his conquest of Varendra.[4] The Paharpur pillar inscription bears the mention of 5th regnal year of Devapala's successor Mahendrapala (circa 850–854) along with the name of Bhiksu Ajayagarbha.[4] Taranatha's Pag Sam Jon Zang records that the monastery was repaired during the reign of Mahipala (circa 995–1043 AD).[4] Jatvarma of Varman dynasty attacked Varendra in 11th century with hostility towards Kaivarta king Divya and Buddhism. Though the Kaivarta regime did not seem to suffer any loss, a part of the Mahavihara was destroyed by fire set by Jatvarma's army.[5] Over time Atisha's spiritual preceptor, Ratnakara Shanti, served as a sthavira of the vihara, Mahapanditacharya Bodhibhadra served as a resident monk, and other scholars spent part of their lives at the monastery, including Kalamahapada, Viryendra and Karunashrimitra.[4] Many Tibetan monks visited the Somapura between the 9th and 12th centuries.[4] During the rule of the Sena dynasty in the second half of the 12th century the vihara started to decline for the last time.[4] One scholar writes, "The ruins of the temple and monasteries at Pāhāpur do not bear any evident marks of large-scale destruction.

The monument is phenomenal. There are multiple structures inside the resthouse that are from the British period.
