Nala Rajbari
Historical Legacy and Heritage: The Nala Rajbari is a magnificent relic of the British colonial era, representing the power and architectural taste of the local Zamindars (landlords). Built over a century ago, the palace has witnessed the transition of India from colonial rule to independence. Altho ugh portions of the palace are now in ruins, the standing structures still exude a sense of regal history. The palace was once the center of administrative and judicial power in the Nala region. It is surrounded by large ponds and crumbling outhouses that once housed the royal cavalry and staff. Visiting the Rajbari is like stepping back in time to an era of grand celebrations and feudal splendor.
