The Zamindari, the area for which the Zamindar was responsible, was 300-400 years ago. Sri Jukto Babu Ghono Sham Kundu was a big businessman during that time, he had a handicraft business. He used to come to this area for business purposes. But once, by cheating, he took over this Zamindari, and started the new Zamindari which followed the Hindu religion. If you turn 60 years back then you will find the last Zamindar in the history of this area. The Zamindari was ruled by two brothers, one was Sri Jukto Babu Narayan Rai Chowdhury, and the second one was Sri Jukto Babu Bishendro Narayan Rai Chowdhury. Their father was Sri Jukto Babu Rajoshri Jogendro Narayan Rai Chowdhury and their mother was Sham Mohini Chowdhurani.
When you visit this Zamindar Bari, you will find a lot of things which hold their grandeur still, but in a ruined condition. You can see the outstanding terracotta temple, design, famous architecture and all other stuff and attractive decoration. When you visit the palace you will find some pieces of glass which are still fixed in door and window. The grills which have a different shape and design.

দানকৃত সম্পত্তি এই হরিপুর জমিদারবাড়ি কেউ কেউ রাজবাড়ি হিসেবেও বলে থাকে। দেশের বিভিন্ন অংশ থেকে অনেকে এই জমিদারবাড়িটি দেখতে আসেন। হরিপুর গ্রামের পশ্চিমদিকে তিতাস নদীর পাড়ে অবস্থিত তিনতলা জমিদারবাড়িটিকে বাইরে থেকে দেখে আপনি কিছুই বুঝতে পারবেন না। একটি বিশাল বারান্দা অতিক্রম করে মূল ভবনটি আপনার চোখে পরবে। জমিদারবাড়িটির স্থাপত্যশৈলী যতটা না চমৎকার তার চাইতে নয়নাভিরাম জমিদারবাড়িটির দেয়ালের কারুকাজ। জমিদারবাড়ির প্রকৃত দরজাগুলো এখন আর নেই। বর্তমানে এখানে প্রায় ৩০টি পরিবার বাস করে। বলা হয়ে থাকে প্রায় ১৭৫ বছর পূর্বে ইংরেজ শাসনামলে জমিদার গৌরি প্রসাদ রায় চৌধুরী এবং কৃষ্ণ প্রসাদ রায় চৌধুরী এই জমিদারবাড়িটি নির্মাণ করেছিলেন। কৃষ্ণ প্রসাদ রায় চৌধুরীর মৃত্যুর পর হরিপদ রায় চৌধুরী এবং শান্তি রায় চৌধুরী এই জমিদারবাড়িটির উত্তরাধিকার প্রাপ্ত হন। অতঃপর তাঁদের কাছ থেকে জমিদার বাড়িটির উত্তরাধিকার চলে যায় উপেন্দ্র রায় চৌধুরী এবং হরেন্দ্র রায় চৌধুরীর কাছে। জমিদারবাড়িটি কখনোই মেরামত না করায় দিন দিন এটি তার জৌলুস ও আবেদন হারাচ্ছে।

Teota Zamindar Palace (তেওতা জমিদার বাড়ী) is located at the Shibalaya (শিবালায়া) Upazila of Manikganj District. This palace is locally known as Teota Rajbari (তেওতা রাজবাড়ি) and Teota Zamindar Bari (তেওতা জমিদার বাড়ী). This palace is possibly over 300 years old. This old dilapidated palace was the home of two brothers named Babu Hemsankar Ray ( বাবু হেমসংকর রায়) and Babu Joy Sankar Ray (বাবু জয় সংকর রায়) who were the ruler of Teota. The whole premise has over 50 rooms. Currently those are occupied by the homeless people.
At the Western side of the building, there is a large pond and beside the pond a temple is located named as Noborotno Temple (নবরত্ন মন্দির). The temple is a four storied building having a glorious example of classical architecture.
The whole palace is situated just beside the bank of mighty river Jamuna. After a few miles from the palace premise, the river merged with another big river, Padma. The palace is a two storied building and from the roof you can easily see the Jamuna river.
This palace is the birth place of Promila Debi (প্রমীলা দেবী), the wife of our national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam (নজরুল ইসলাম). Poet first saw her in this palace when he came here to visit Promila's cousin-Dhiren Sen (ধীরেন সেন).
