Personal highlights

  1. Pakutia Zamindar Bari: complex of abandoned buildings
  2. Buildings: build in the early 19th century by rich merchants
  3. Architecture: lavishly decorated with sculptures and columns
  4. Today: the buildings are run down yet some people live in there
  5. Journey: passing by on accident on my way to the Baliati Palace
