JAMIDAR BARI

The area of 4 ha bears witness to the past richness of the Zamindar (local lord) of Muktagacha. Legend tells that he would come from Natore and that, by crossing the village, then called Binodbari, he would have been offered a lamp by a farmer. The farmer was called Muktaram and the gacha lamp in local dialect. It did not take the zamindar any more to rename the village and settle.

The many buildings of different styles and stages of decay or less advanced decay make it a unique rajbari to visit. The guard will probably offer you its services to carry you through the rooms of the main residence to the still apparent sculpted teething. He will show you the performance hall, because the zamindar was renowned for his cruelty and his sense of diligence. Peasants were not allowed to cross the property with shoes or an umbrella. If they were caught, they were beaten by the guards. Zamindar also required déflorer future brides and locking parents who denied this right of cuissage. In many buildings the ceilings threaten to collapse when this is already done. As in this amazing iron and steel house, which would have used private apartments to the zamindar and his wife. The site also includes two Hindu temples, including the temple of Rajeswari.
