Ramu


RamuThis is a featured page

This is a typical Buddhist village, about 16 km. from Cox's Bazar, on the main boulevard to Chittagong. There are monasteries, khyangs and pagodas containing images of Buddha in gold, bronze and other metals inlaid with expensive stones.

One of the nearly everyone interesting of these temples is on the bank of the Baghkhali River. It houses not only interesting relics and Burmese handicrafts but also a large bronze statue of Buddha measuring thirteen feet high and rests on a six feet far above the ground pedestal. The wood carving of this khyang is very delicate and refined.

The community has a attraction of its own. Weavers ply their trade in open workshops and craftsmen make handmade cigars in their pagoda like houses.
