Anandbihar is one of the richest and oldest archaeological sites in Bangladesh. Ananda Bihar (Ananda Bihar) The largest Buddhist monastery discovered in Mainamati is square in shape, measuring 198 meters on each side. Here too, as in Shalban Vihar, the sannyasis' rooms can be seen on the four sides of the square. 

Bihar has a magnificent cruciform temple situated in the middle of an open courtyard. These rooms are enclosed around the temple. Its only scenic entrance is in the northern part of Bihar. The exterior of the entrance is spacious and massive and the exterior is expansive. 

Its outer wall looks quite beautiful thanks to the 'offset' and molded design. The walls of the inner verandah are also decorated with molded decoration and patterned bricks. A few rooms in its northern row and a portion of the southern side of the middle temple have been exposed by excavations. 

This suggests that these rooms and temples were once used as part of the temple. A copper ruler, 63 silver coins, a large number of bronze statues and terracotta sculptured plaques have been discovered in this Vihar. A kiln for firing pottery was found outside the monastery.

It is believed that the Anandavihar complex with the largest pond in the area was built by Sri Anandeva, the third ruler of the First Deva Dynasty sometime in the late seventh or early eighth century.
