Rajnagar

Rajnagar lies in the lowlands of the Sylhet region, among rivers and seasonal wetlands. At nearby Paschimbhag a copperplate records a grant by the Chandra ruler Srichandra in the tenth century. Known as the Chandrapur charter, it describes land given to religious and scholarly institutions and provides evidence for a centre of learning in the region. The inscription links this landscape to the political and religious networks of early Bengal.
