Gokul Medh (Behula's Bashor Ghor)
গোকুল মেধ (বেহুলার বাসর ঘর)
A tall, terraced brick mound linked by local legend to Behula and Lakhindar.
South of Mahasthangarh, this ancient brick structure rises from the fields in a honeycomb of walled cells and terraces. Archaeologists date it to around the 6th–7th centuries and see it as a temple or stupa platform. Local tradition calls it the bridal chamber of Behula and Lakhindar from the Manasa legend, where Lakhindar was bitten by a snake despite every precaution. Climbing to the top gives wide views over the green countryside.
How to get there
A short rickshaw or CNG ride from Mahasthan bazar.
Good to know
Combine with Mahasthangarh on the same day. The steps can be uneven.
