Brief
Jhaudi Giri is located in Jhaudi village of Madaripur Sadar Upazila. It’s actually a far away from the town, will take around 40 minutes to reach the place. It’s actually a large pillar made from brick. People used to say it was made by the Mog (a tribe from Bangladesh). It’s unsure why they built this large mound. But people says they made for prayer. It was much taller before, but day by day it’s decreasing in size.
