At Ratangiri most of the excavation is done in and around on the high mound locally called Ranipokhari or Queen’s Tank.
The excavation of this site revealed the spectacular remains of two monasteries lying side by side with a narrow passage between them. They have been constructed any time between 5th to 10th century A.D.
One on the left is earmarked as Monastery No. 2.
And the bigger one by its side is earmarked as Monastery No. 1.

Rajesh, your sons are lucky to have a parent who will take them to these marvelous sites. Not only history, but culture and beauty. The world needs aesthetes! Good for you. Amy
Awesome history and love to read such posts.
missed to mention the photos. Very enticing.
You can imagine how it would have looked from the foundation. I bet the boys loved this.
It is truly amazing how so many structures are able to remain standing since they were built since the A.D. period.
I always find archaeological excavations fascinating they add so much to our knowledge of the past.
Seems to be a grand monastery of its time. Lovely picks, Rajesh :)
Interesting place.

Splendid architecture
