Gokul Medh, Buddhist archaeological site in Bogra District, Bangladesh

The excavated mound contains 172 rectangular cells arranged in tiers that form the base of a polygonal shrine structure.

Archaeological investigations between 1934 and 1936 revealed a Buddhist shrine dating from the 7th century during the Gupta and Pala periods.

The site holds connections to Bengali folklore through the tale of Behula and Lakshinder, leading to its alternative name Lakshindar Medh.

Located 2 kilometers southwest of Mahasthangarh, the site presents structural remains of religious architecture from multiple historical periods.

A discovered stone slab at the shrine center contains twelve shallow depressions and a larger one holding a gold leaf with bull relief.
