This monument is contemporary to Anand Prabhu Kuti Vihar at Sirpur situated at the distance of only 400 meters from the said monument. It is said that being in the shape of Swastika (a holy symbol) it was named as Swastika Vihar. A big sculpture of Lord Buddha is kept here in its sanctum. This beautiful Vihar is of period 7th–8th cent. A.D. This is a brick built Buddhist monastery smaller than Anand Prabhu-Kuti Vihara. This Vihara is of great archaeological value, and is located at 16 kms on the left side of National Highway No. 6, in Mahasamund Distt. near the village Kunari turn. This brick built monastery, is small in size and is a good example of Buddhist art and architecture.
