Still a large part of the site remains to be excavated. The
monastery divided into two parts-the Madhavpura Mahavihar and the Simhaprastha
Mahavihar. The Madhavpura Mahavihar has a massive Mahastupa (Main Stupa) along
with Chaitygriha’s (prayer hall), Votive Stupa’s (stupas erected on fulfillment
of a wish), Commemorative Stupa’ (erected in memory of a monk with his relics). The Simhaprastha Mahavihar houses the ruins of the
monasteries and the meditation chambers and beautifully carved statues. The
lion statue with the hill at the backdrop is a photographer’s delight along
with that of Avalokitesvara. The important aspect of this site is the fact that unlike
Ratnagiri and Lalitgiri there are no sculptures or scriptures found so far at
this site which link it to Vajrayana tantric cult. What adds to the beauty of the place is the presence of
beautiful native species of birds that flock the area in abundance, right from
the entry point to the Mahavihar.
