The ruins of a mosque, built in 1724, in excellent condition and around the territory is very well-groomed. This city was the capital of the Bengal Navabs, founded in 1704. The grave of the founder of the city, Nawab Murshid Kuli Khan, governor of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, is located under the steps of this mosque.

It is an old temple. The earlier temple was destroyed by lightning, which was 900 years old. The present temple was buitl by Rani Bhabani, who was the queen of Natore in Bangladesh. This temple is about 300 years old. It is believed to be one of the 51 Shaktipeeths of India. It is said that the "kirit" or front part of the skull of Sati fell here. The temple priest is a wonderful and knowledgeable person. Photography is allowed inside the temple.

For a lover of history and being passionate about travel, I couldn’t have selected a better place to stay. The palace is the perfect blend of historic as well as modern. Recently renovated, the toilets are brand new & spankingly clean, I love that the rooms are airy and have four-poster beds. My personal favourite are the rooms on the ground floor (so I feel closer to nature). There’s a tennis court for those who want their exercise in the mornings or you can simply walk around the premises. The palace has its own restaurant open to outsiders too and the food is delicious. The museum is awesome. Make sure you have someone to take you around - the family history is intriguing. The service is fantastic. You feel like royalty!
