Hemnagar Zamindar Bari

Hemnagar Zamindar Bari is a less highlighted edifice from Bangladesh. Not that much tourists use to travel here despite of having everything to become a promising tourist attraction from Bangladesh. It was built by the prominent Hindu Zamindar from Tangail district named Hemchandra Choudhury at 1890.

The Main building at the front side has two small statues of angel at the top. That's why local people know this as Porir Dalan which means a Palace of Angel. Main building of this Zamindar Bari is currently using as an administrative building of Hemnagar  Degree College, but the other buildings at the back side is empty right now. There it has approximately 25 rooms inside.

Front side of the building is having the best styles from the whole premise. It is highly ornate at the walls using colorful glasses. Every inches of the walls, pillars, and the archways are flourished with flowers, vines, stars, etc formed using those colorful glasses.

The Zamindar was slight cruel and rude on the peasants. They were coerced to follow few rules. For example, if anyone wanted to pass this palace premise, he/she must had to continuously keep vowing and walking backwards with bare feet. Such things must have poured the heart of locals with hatred and grief.

That's why the powerful Zamindar  had to escape from the place during the country's separation. Along with the buildings, the whole premise was having 7 massive ponds (only few are right now available). Local people say those 7 ponds are for the seven ladies. Dhonbari Zamindar Bari is very near from this place.
