Sat Math (Seven Temples), Chhagalnaiya

In West Chhagalnaiya, on Satbari Road, lies the eight-acre estate of the Hindu zamindar Binod Bihari. Beside the house stand seven memorial (cremation) temples, which is why the place is called Sat Math or Sat Mandir Bari. The zamindar left for Kolkata around 1948, and local families now live in the old buildings. It is listed by the Department of Archaeology but is almost unknown outside Feni.

How to get there

From Feni take a bus or CNG to Chhagalnaiya town, then a rickshaw to Satbari Road in West Chhagalnaiya.

Good to know

People live in the compound; ask before photographing homes.
