The site of Padua currently in Malda district of West Bengal, India was the capital of Bengal Sultanate (Twelfth Century-Sixteenth Century CE). The site of Paharpur (Seventh-Twelfth Century CE) lies currently in Bangladesh and was once a flourishing Buddhist monastery. Three different geographical sites of Paharpur, Pandua and Bishnupur are selected within the Bengal region, of different periods and with a different religious dominance to search a commonality in Architecture. We explore both the domestic and Monumental Architecture that were built in this region. The region 'Bengal' is used with reference to the present West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh. This paper is an attempt to search for Architectural commonality for a period from Seventh to Seventeenth Century CE in the region of Bengal.
