Lohagor Moth, Chandpur, Bangladesh

There is a doubt about the founder of the Moth. Some sources believe that the two brothers have built this. And some other sources believe that it was built by the inheritors of the two brothers. Also, it is not certain about the built date. Initially it had five Moth side by side. But now a days there are only three remaining.

People of that time were scared of those two infamous brothers. They were too much cruel and never done anything good for the villagers. Raping girls from the village was their daily routine. People hardly used to go near their house. It is believed that they have sunken their mother in a pond nearby their house. She wanted milk from them, and it was her fault.

Existing three Moth are in different heights. The taller one is the most beautiful. It is very tall, and the upper portion is more beautiful and ornate than the lower portion. Top portion is somewhat similar to the top of a pagoda. There are several holes found at the top of the temple and those are a nice hideout for the Rose-ringed parakeet pairs. The Moth was covered with the jungle for many years. People hardly went near that Moth. They thought it had some bad spirits which use to take or kill people. Even for many years people didn’t dare to go near the Moth alone.

Pal Bari, Munshiganj, Bangladesh

Pal Bari (পাল বাড়ি) is one of the renowned historical places in Munshiganj. According to the current inhabitants of the Pal House at Abdullahpur, Kamini Pal and Dwarkanath Pal, the eldest two sons of Tokani Prasad Pal, possibly one of the richest business persons of Bikrampur, established this house around the end of the 19th century. They added a few more blocks to the house over the years, but lived within the compounds of their father’s house, several miles away. During the liberation war, many of their family members were brutally tortured and killed, prompting the entire clan to leave for Kolkata,India. A few years later Dwarkanath returned, to wind up his businesses here. Dwarkanath Pal, therefore chose to spend his last few years at this house. He decided to stay back in Munshiganj, but could not live in his own house. Many others had occupied most of that property.
