Places of interest [ What to do ]
Staying within the centuries-old Itachuna Rajbari is itself fascinating. Rooms are attached to open garden terrace decorated with antique pieces ,lightings and a beautiful fountain. The royal styled rooms are exceptionally beautiful with an overlooking manicured garden and open portico. A walk through the entire Rajbari is a must. The walk is nothing short of a journey through time which is often punctuated by the chirping of birds or the sweet ringing of bells coming from the temple. Also don’t miss out the early morning or late evening walks through the lush fields or watching the picturesque sunset from the ‘pukurpar’ (pond). Also don’t miss out the remnants of an ‘Atithisala’ the century old guest house for the priests. You can fly kites in the terrace, play Kabaddi or Kho-Kho or Kit-Kit, sit under the starlit sky with the noise of the last passing train, soak in the local culture and can even smell the wet soil. In short you can be yourself and let yourself loose free.
