Jhaudi Giri is actually a large pillar made from brick. People say it was made by the Mog (a tribe in Bangladesh). It is unsure why they built this large monument (or edifice). But people say they made this for prayer. It was much taller before, but day by day it is decreasing in size.
It was my second day in Madaripur district. In the early morning I left the hotel to visit this Jhaudi Giri. It is located in the Jhaudi village of Madaripur sadar upazila. It did cost me 30 Taka for rickshaw fare as it was slightly far from the town. It took approximately 40 minutes to reach Jhaudi Giri.
The rickshaw journey around the Jhaudi village was excellent. It was a typical mud road of the village. The road was a narrow one too. Both sides of the road were covered with jute plants, hence very green. I had to cross a bamboo pool to cross a canal to reach near the Jhaudi Giri.

this village is nice, you can come and visit that someday…!
Thanks for posting the article of Jhaudi Village. I am so moved to read the article as my maternal Grandfather was the landlord of this village. His name was Harischandra Guha and was known as Boro Bhuia. Presently, we stay at Kolkata.
