Tajhat Palace

Tajhat Palace, Indo-Saracenic palace and museum in Rangpur District, Bangladesh

Description

Tajhat Palace is a four-story building with a broad facade and white stone pillars that spans a significant width across its grounds. The interior combines Italian marble elements with classical room arrangements that house several exhibition halls and visitor areas.

History

A regional ruler commissioned this palace in the early 1900s, and the construction project took many years to complete with large teams of workers involved. The building emerged during a period when such grand structures demonstrated the power and wealth of local nobles in the area.

Culture

The palace displays ancient terracotta artworks and religious manuscripts from different traditions that visitors can explore in its exhibition halls today. These collections offer insight into the region's artistic and spiritual heritage.

Practical

The palace is located a short drive from Rangpur city and can be reached by car without difficulty. Visitors should note that exhibition spaces operate on specific schedules and photography is restricted in certain areas.

Did you know?

The palace contains hidden staircases in its rear sections that are not immediately visible to visitors. Local stories mention an underground passage that once led to the nearby river, though this is no longer accessible or verified today.
