:: The Aggameda Khyang, Cox's
Bazar
Equally elaborate in plan, elevation and decoration
is the Aggameda Khyang near the entrance to the Cox's
Bazar town, which nestles at the foot of a hill under
heavy cover of a stand of large trees. The main sanctuary-cum-monastery
is carried on a series of round timber columns, which
apart from accommodating the prayer chamber and an assembly
hall, also is the repository of a large of small bronze
Buddha images-mostly of Burmese origin-- and some old
manuscripts. Beyond the main khyang to the south,
there is an elevated wooden pavilion and a smaller brick
temple with a timber and corrugated metal root. Apart
from bearing an inscription in Burmese over its entrance,
the temple contains some large stucco and bronze Buddha
images.

Ramu
This
is a typical Buddhist village, about 16 km. from Cox's
Bazar, on the main road to Chittagong. There are monasteries,
khyangs and pagodas containing images of Buddha in gold,
bronze and other metals inlaid with precious stones.
One
of the most interesting of these temples is on the bank
of the Baghkhali River. It houses not only interesting
relics and Burmese handicrafts but also a large bronze
statue of Buddha measuring thirteen feet high and rests
on a six feet high pedestal. The wood carving of this
khyang is very delicate and refined.
The
village has a charm of its own. Weavers ply their trade
in open workshops and craftsmen make handmade cigars
in their pagoda like houses.
