The structure includes two Buddhist temples and courtyards that are adjacent to a total of 18 rooms inside the complex where presumably the monks resided. According to various experts from home and abroad, the structure contains some unique and exceptional features that are quite different from other Buddhist monasteries previously discovered in the eastern parts of the Indian Subcontinent. Researchers at the department and other experts are researching whether a similar Buddhist temple was previously discovered in other parts of South Asia. It is the second Buddhist monastery to be discovered in South Bengal after the one in Bharat Bhayana. Assuming the symmetry and structure of the monastery, another temple existed to the southeast of the structure.
