Deb Place
Details: Deb Place is an important historical and cultural site, often cited as a former residential or administrative block of the local royal or landowning families (Deb being a common title or surname), standing near the significant Bhairav Thali area, believed to be connected to the former royal lineage of Tripura (Manikya dynasty) or powerful local chieftains; its ruins or remaining structures provide a valuable, tangible link to the town's past as an ancient capital (Chambulnagar), offering visitors a glimpse into the region's socio-political history during pre-modern times and serving as a quiet reminder of bygone eras:
