Ballal Dhipi, Archaeological mound in Bamanpukur, India.

The brick structure extends over 1,300 square feet and rises 30 feet high, featuring floors constructed with lime and sand materials.

Archaeological excavations conducted between 1982 and 1988 uncovered temple complexes and artifacts dating from the 10th to 12th centuries AD.

The remnants indicate the presence of Buddhist influence through architectural elements similar to Vikramshila Vihar in Bihar and Shompur Vihar in Bangladesh.

Visitors can reach the site via the Krishnagar-Mayapur road, with the nearest stop at Bamunpukur Bazar, located 10 kilometers before Mayapur.

A stone crocodile head, discovered during excavations, served as a water outlet system within the ancient architectural complex.
