I am confused how does people rate such places. What does it mean if i rate it 2 on a historical place and if i rate 5 on it? what's the difference it make? If i rate 2, does this make it less historical?? No! then why should i rate it? It's not quite what I expect for such places. Rather i can discuss some points about it.

this place is marked as "সংরক্ষিত পুরাকীর্তি" by "প্রত্নতত্ত্ব অধিদপ্তর" of Bangladesh. A place where you will visit to see an ancient work, read the information written on the nearby board to learn about the history. If you only visit the place and take photo only without knowing the history behind it, what is the point behind it? So if you visit there, please read what is written on the board. When it was built, for whom, by whom and why it is here. Know all these and then look at the structural and architectural beauty. for engineers and architects, it's a reminder that people built these long before today and how people of that time used to design and think about the surroundings. How they have utilized the surroundings to match with such a structure for it's purpose. Don't just go there and waste your time, rather go and learn something out of it. Look how its made, why it is made, why it is left...
