Visiting a new place doesn’t just mean taking pictures and eating your favorite dishes. It is very important to have an in-depth look at the region, its people, activities and issues. And tune into their feelings as much as possible.
So we went to Uttara Gono Bhavan, formerly known as Dighapatia Palace. It was a wonderful experience to see a historical palace in the full moon light. The palace was built by Raja Doyaram in 1734. Doyaram was the diwan (minister) of Rani Bhabhani. The front gate had a round clock with a large bell and a clock room. The watch was imported from Italy.
It also has a beautiful garden filled with various local and exotic trees. Locals believe that one of the trees called Parijat is over a hundred years old. The beauty and fresh smell of the flowers mesmerized me.
Dighapatia Palace is an integral part of our history. We should take all measures to protect this majestic palace.
It was still 10.30 pm when we got back from there and I was in no hurry! And the city of Nator was not sleeping either. The main restaurant remained open. We went to Islamia Pochur Hotel for dinner. I must thank them for serving fresh fish items. The cooking was delicious. At that time a large number of customers were coming to the hotel for dinner and the night life was in full swing.
