==History==<br />
Dhulikatta was famous for Buddhist center. [[Stupa|Buddhist stupa]]'s were famous in Dhulikatta. The Buddhist Mahastupa or the great stupa and vihara in Dhulikatta village were established at the end of the 2nd century BC, which is more than 2000 years ago. During that period, the region played a greater role and thus was protected with numerous fortifications. According to many historians, the description of this fortified town which is situated on the banks of a river that has been conceptualized by the Greek emissary [[Megasthenes]], matches with that of this town. The remains and ruins of this ancient stupa that has been built on an elevated place are still discernible. The constructions of platforms make the Mahastupa look larger. The lime-stone blocks that are elegantly carved are decorated with many Buddhist symbols like the [[Mucalinda|Muchalinda Naga]] (a snake from the Buddhist mythology). Several other remnants such as the punched coins from Roman Kingdom and Satvahana dynasty, beads, combs made of ivory, bangles and authentic silver jewelleries have been brought to light in the excavations around the Mahastupa in Dhulikatta.<br />
