Tajhat Palace

What travelers say:

Northwestern Bangladesh is a province that was only established in 2010 in Rangpur, Bangladesh, a place that had never been heard of before, and went capriciously for a casual glance at the map. The country's industry is largely concentrated around the capital Dhaka and along the national road with the largest port, Chittagong, to the west is deep into the rural hinterland. After the bus passed the bridge on the Tramaptra River, it plunged north into Rangpur, the poorest province in Bangladesh, but the people here are also the most simple and kind, along the way beautiful to the eyes tired green, blue sky and white clouds, there is no end to rice and jute planting. The provincial capital, Rangpur, is not long in history, and British Indian colonialists planted indigo plants on fertile land here, and the city's name derives from it. There are not many attractions to see in Rangpur, mainly Tajhat Palace , an Indian Sarasun-style building built by the local Tuwanggong in the early 20th century, and a very beautiful and clean European-style garden in front of the palace. In addition to the building itself as a gem worth seeing, it is now the Rangpur Museum, displaying pieces of antiques excavated from nearby sites such as Paharpur and Mahasthangarh. Another worth seeing is that the largest university in Bangladesh was built in 1916, and its administrative building is also a beautiful Indian Sarasan-style building. Local friends I met on the bus invited me to go to the Town Hall for tea at night. The Rangpur under the night was especially like a rural town where I lived as a child. The cement roads that spread everywhere were unregulated, and various small shops lit dim lights. The main street in front of the Town Hall is like the street of the township market, lively, everywhere is a small car selling snacks, selling small toys, selling cheap clothes, people surrounded, bargaining. The town hall is an English-style building built in 1896, and in addition to its usual office use, it is also a place for young people to gather for milk tea and chat during holidays and evenings. Rangpur's summer night was unusually hot, but the hot, hot night was unforgettable as locals crowded into town halls in Bangladesh's hinterland, sweating and drinking tea. #Bangladesh #historical buildings #niche discovery society #urban humanities handwriting #those niche and beautiful places
