Dalal Bazar Zamindar Bari

This former zamindar's estate in Dalal Bazar once spread across a large compound of palaces, temples and ponds. The family left in the turmoil of the 1940s, and many buildings fell into ruin, with trees growing from their walls. The Department of Archaeology has restored part of the complex and set up a museum there. Walking among the arches and the old pond gives a sense of the area's past wealth.

How to get there

About 20 minutes by CNG from Lakshmipur town toward Dalal Bazar.

Good to know

Be careful around unstable ruined walls. Check museum days locally.
