About 1400 (fourteen) years ago, Buddhists used to live in a special place where they practiced their religion and taught their children. There are more monasteries in Bangladesh such as Comilla Mainamati Shalban Bihar, Naogaon Sompur Bihar.
One of the most visited places in Maheshkhali is the century old historical Buddhist temple. Tourists flock to Maheshkhali to visit Rakhine Buddhist temples. Rakhine people think that there is a lot to see in Buddhist temples. According to the 1999 census of Buddhists in Maheshkhali, there are almost 6,000 people and 5 Buddhist temples. Rakhine residential areas such as Maheshkhali Municipality, Shaplapur and Thakurtala of Chhota Maheshkhali have been living and practicing their religion peacefully for ages. Both men and women are active among them.
The children are working shoulder to shoulder to support the family. Basically they are gold traders and moneylenders. Moreover tailors, small grocery stores, weavers and some people work in prisons. They are mostly affluent. Maheshkhali is also aware of Rakhine and male and female religions. During the festival, he closes various shops and pays attention to religious rituals. The biggest of the big religious days of Buddhists is the Buddhist full moon, the custom of which is that on the day when the puja starts, they go to different puja houses to serve perfume and bathe small and big Buddhist idols with rose water. All Rakhine Buddhists, big and small, pray in front of the Buddhist statue with both hands. Because that day is Gautama Buddha's birthday, the day of attaining Nirvana and the day of Samadhi. Another of their Christmas is the day of flying lanterns. This puja means chanting of Buddhist disciples. The meaning of this puja is that men and women fly lanterns together to remove any storm, drought or calamity in the country.
Our travels was to Cox's Bazar Maheshkhali,We spent some time there and it is very interesting to see two people who have visited the temple that are eating in our heartbeat. Those who come here see these two because it is a very old one.
Here are some of the things I have heard from the people. In fact, traveling is very beneficial for the health of the body, so as much as you can, let's visit the Maheshkhali Padma Temple and stay well and stay healthy.
