The mystery place was once famous for the ghostly figures seen at late nights. It has also been serving as the hideouts for teens and night lovers until when the state government took the responsibility to rebuilt it. Local people say during the times of Maharaja, the great Rabindranath Tagore use to stay here during his visit to Agartala. It is said that this bangalow has a secret underground passage to the Maharaja’s palace. For safety reasons one must not visit this place after dusk. :o
A few minutes walk from my home will bring you to this soothing palace right in the heart of the city. Now it serves as the legislative assembly of the state. Government opens it for tourists and local residents only during certain period of the year. The palace has ponds on both sides of its path way that was symmetrically designed.
I had again come back from my office to my hometown after quite a while. We decided to make a visit to Neermahal. It was a rainy day somewhere in the mid of May. The whole day it was drizzling with heavy showers in between. This made the journey a bit more memorable. We hired a private car and started at 8 am after having our breakfast. Our car raced against the torrential rainfall to reach Melaghar after about 4 hours. In between we took a short visit to MataBari(the famous Kali Temple), Udaipur.
Due to heavy rains there were no tourists, so we hired a big speed boat for six of us. The whole palace was ours for the time. It was my palace for the moment. The boat ride was so exciting, I just wanted to have a little more. We had much fun in the palace. The whole journey was just awesome ... See more in picasa.
