The Dhaka Times Desk Who does not want to be a witness to history? But why should you miss such an opportunity. You can travel when you have free time. You can go to Ujani Rajbari of Gopalganj district.
Ujani Rajbari is a historical architectural monument located in Muksudpur, 35 km from Gopalganj district headquarters. With the evolution of time, the ancient art patterns of Rajbari have been lost to a large extent. However, the palace still stands as a witness of the zamindari system, but due to lack of proper renovation, the beauty of this structure is almost disappearing. During British rule, two zamindars named Govind and Sur Narayan from Jessore district settled in Ujani village of Gopalganj. Later they introduced their own zamindari system with an area of about 50 hectares in Telihati Pargana and also constructed some two and three storied palaces for the zamindari work. As part of that plan, elaborate zamindar houses were built at Uzani, better known today as Uzani Rajbari.
Apart from this palace, Ujani Rajbari also has meeting rooms, pond ghats, monasteries and temples. With the abolition of the zamindari system, the zamindars and their descendants migrated to India, but Sur Narayan's descendants still live in this Ujani zamindar house. It is known that at that time Uzani Zamindar had a total of 7 zamindaris. Today, the old panchil (wall), temple and terracotta-encased mutt roof of the elaborate Ujani Rajbari is on the verge of collapse, and the rough stone Kalimandir and huge dighi adjacent to the zamindar's house are on the verge of extinction due to lack of renovation. There is also another ancient zamindar house in Mahatali village not far from Uzani zamindar house.
