About this ebook
Moyna Garh - Fort of Moyna Royal Family. The fort is
devided into two parts outside and inside. Inside is 5,62,500 sq ft. Surrounded
by 150 ft wide cannel. Local people use to take shelter during Bargi (Maratha
Dacoits) attack. Moynagarh has
a very rich cultural heritage, and it lies almost obscure now. Mediaeval
literature and the oral traditions are eloquent on its past glory &
grandeur, that push its antiquity several hundred years back. Situated in the
vicinity of the ancient city-port of Tamralipta, the structure of this fort is
unique and seems to be unparalleled. The fort proper is encircled by two
concentric wide moats with hillock-like huge mounds. There had been crocodiles
in the deep water, wild animals in the dense forest and ever-ready cannons in
different lofty corners. This fort is reminiscent of legendary king Lausen
(10th Century), and the Bahubalindras of Balisita (1434) who came here in
1561-62 AD. Even today, the Hindu temples (Vaisnavas, Saivas, Shaktas), the
Buddhist shrines, Mazhar-sharif of the Muslim saint Manikpir, the Mausoleum of
the Mahanta are reverberated with solemn hymns & prayers of thousands of
devotees of different religious faiths. Dipped in the lush green with placid
water all around this picturesque environment is very much like an attractive
dreamland
