Lohagor Moth, Chandpur, Bangladesh

There is a doubt about the founder of the Moth. Some sources believe that the two brothers have built this. And some other sources believe that it was built by the inheritors of the two brothers. Also, it is not certain about the built date. Initially it had five Moth side by side. But now a days there are only three remaining.

People of that time were scared of those two infamous brothers. They were too much cruel and never done anything good for the villagers. Raping girls from the village was their daily routine. People hardly used to go near their house. It is believed that they have sunken their mother in a pond nearby their house. She wanted milk from them, and it was her fault.

Existing three Moth are in different heights. The taller one is the most beautiful. It is very tall, and the upper portion is more beautiful and ornate than the lower portion. Top portion is somewhat similar to the top of a pagoda. There are several holes found at the top of the temple and those are a nice hideout for the Rose-ringed parakeet pairs. The Moth was covered with the jungle for many years. People hardly went near that Moth. They thought it had some bad spirits which use to take or kill people. Even for many years people didn’t dare to go near the Moth alone.
