:: Ramu ::
This is a typical Buddhist village, about
16 km. from Cox's Bazar, on the main road to Chittagong. There are monasteries,
khyangs and pagodas containing images of Buddha in gold, bronze and other
metals inlaid with precious stones.
One of the most attractive of these temples
is on the bank of the Baghkhali River. It houses not only interesting relics
and Burmese handicrafts but also a large bronze statue of Buddha measuring
thirteen feet high and rests on a six feet high pedestal. The wood carving of
this khyang is very delicate and refined.
The
village has a charm of its own. Weavers ply their trade in open workshops and
craftsmen make handmade cigars in their pagoda like houses.
