Several Buddhist temple sites have been excavated around Maināmatī, near the city of Komira in the southeast, and one of them, called Sharban Monastery, is slightly smaller than the one in Paharpur but has a similar layout and was also decorated with terracotta panels. The capital, Dhaka, was once called Jahangirnagar, and has many ruins from the Mughal period.
