দিবর স্তম্ভ, Ancient stone column at Dibor Dighi, Bangladesh
Dibor Column is an octagonal granite structure that stands partly submerged in a large water reservoir in northwestern Bangladesh. The structure features decorative grooved patterns in its upper section and ends with three circular rings forming a crown-like formation at the top.
This column was built in the 11th century during the reign of Kaivarta king Divya, who had defeated the Pala ruler Mahipala II. The monument marks a period of significant political change in the region.
The column's upper section features decorative grooved patterns and three circular rings forming a crown-like structure at its summit.
The column stands within a large water reservoir and can be viewed from multiple points around it, with different angles revealing various details of the structure. Visiting is easiest during lower water levels, as this provides better access and visibility.
The column bears no inscriptions or text on its surface, meaning its exact purpose and significance had to be determined through archaeological study. This absence of markings makes it a mysterious monument from an earlier era.
