The Misripara Seema Buddha Bihar, the largest Buddhist temple in Bangladesh, is renowned due to its distinctive architectural design. It is a hundred years old and symbolizes the ancient tradition and cultural heritage of traditional Rakhaine people. The Misripara Seema Buddha Bihar is just four kilometers away from the Kuakata sea beach, located in Patuakhali. One can see both the sunrise and sunset from the panoramic beach which is about 320 kilometers south of the capital and about 70 kilometers from the district headquarters.
