Lohagor Moth, Religious monument in Balia Union, Bangladesh
Lohagor Moth is a religious complex comprising three remaining structures of varying heights, with the tallest featuring ornate decorations and pagoda-style elements in its upper portion. The buildings display a construction style that blends local and religious design elements together.
The site traces back several centuries, and its name derives from two brothers who once ruled the area and were documented for their cruel acts. The name preserves the memory of this early period in regional history.
The site draws people from across the region who gather here to practice their faith and participate in spiritual ceremonies together. The spaces reflect a living religious tradition that remains important to the local community.
The site is most easily reached by taking local buses from Chandpur District to Faridganj at Lohagarh, and multiple accommodation options are available in Chandpur. Visitors should consult local guides or community representatives to learn more about current access and visiting conditions.
The upper chamber of the tallest structure contains several holes that serve year-round as nesting sites for rose-ringed parakeets, attracting unexpected wildlife residents. This natural use of the site often goes unnoticed by visitors, though the birds are easy to observe.
