This is one amongst the Buddhist sites of the Mainamati
ruins. It is read that Mainamati had been a Buddhist center between seventh and
twelfth century.
This site was built during the reign of Deva Dynasty, by
Bhava Deva, the fourth ruler. The authentic color of the building is flame like
and was able to be the dwelling place of 115 monks together. It was previously
known as Shalban Rajar Bari, but after the archaeological survey, the had been
known as a Buddhist Monastery. When the excavation of terracotta and copper art
work was discovered, it was then named as Shalban Vihar.
It is one amongst the prestigious Buddhist Monasteries that
had a glorious presence from the early eighth century. Some valuable excavation
from this place are kept in the Mainamati Museum.
