Equally elaborate in plan, elevation and decoration is the Aggameda Khyang near
the entrance to the Cox's Bazar town, which nestles at the foot of a hill under
heavy cover of a stand of large trees. The main sanctuary-cum-monastery is
carried on a series of round timber columns, which apart from accommodating the
prayer chamber and an assembly hall, also is the repository of a large of small
bronze Buddha images-mostly of Burmese origin-- and some old
manuscripts. Beyond the main khyang to the south, there is an elevated
wooden pavilion and a smaller brick temple with a timber and corrugated metal
root. Apart from bearing an inscription in Burmese over its entrance, the
temple contains some large stucco and bronze Buddha images.
