Kirtipasha Jamindar Bari — Attraction in Barishal Division

The location of the Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari is on Kirtipasha Bazar Road in Kirtipasha, Jhalokati. In addition to this landmark, Jhalokati lists eleven other landmarks. Barisal District is roughly 12 to 15 kilometers away.

The zamindar bari (landlord’s home) is located roughly 5 kilometers to the northwest of Jhalakathi. To reach the village from the city, I used an electric auto-rickshaw (battery-powered vehicle). Then I began heading towards the zamindar bari, which was almost a century old, with a distinct sense of exhilaration. Eventually, I reached the end of my journey and was standingștiin front of my objective.

Initially constructed by Zamindar Ram Jiban Sen in the early 19th century, the opulent mansion is now owned by the royal family. Later, Zamindar Kirtinarayan Pasha erected a number of temples on the estate grounds. He is honored with a place name.

The zamindar bari is one of the grandest and largest in Bangladesh. At least 200 rooms were present. Currently, it is an abandoned property in a terribly deteriorated state. The majority of the building’s walls are still standing, but the floors and ceilings have vanished. Only one structure is currently in good condition. It serves as the 1975-established Nabin Chandra Girls High School. Eventually, a second new school building was completed. On the property sits an abandoned Shiva temple. On the route to the house, there is an additional, well-kept...

Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari was established about a hundred year ago. Part of the dynasty of the Bikrampuri Zamindar established the Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari in Jhalokati district in the late 19th century. In the early 19th century, King Ram Sengupta of the Bikrampur Zamindari dynasty came to this village of Kirtipasha. Here he built two houses for his two sons. The old house for the eldest son which was purba bari-10 annas known as the big share zamindar house and the house for the youngest son, which was purba bari- 6 annas known as the small share of zamindar house. The younger son's zamindar's house was destroyed long ago.Some parts of the eldest son's zamindar's house have still survived. The zamindar's son of this zamindar's house was poisoned to death and his wife also died with him. They were later buried together. There have still been a theater, hall, small and big temples. Rohini Roy Chowdhury and Tapan Roy Chowdhury are two famous persons of this...

Kirtipasha Jomidar Bari was established by Bikrampur Zamindar Ram Sen Gupta for his sons.

I recently visited this historical place from Dhaka. If you’re planning to go, you can take any Dhaka-to-Barisal bus. Most buses will drop you at Nathullabad Bus Stand. However, it’s better to choose a bus that drops you off at Rupatoli Bus Stand, as it will make your journey smoother. From Rupatoli, you need to catch another bus heading towards Jhalokati or Rajapur-Bhandaria. Inform the conductor to drop you off at Kirtipasha Mor. It will take 35min 1 hour max as it is local service. Once there, you’ll need to hire an auto-rickshaw, which will cost around 50–60 taka if reserved, to take you directly to Kirtipasha Jomidar Bari. From there it's 4-5 km...
