Brief

Around 300 years ago, a landlord family established this Zamindar bari by their name. Parliament, ball-room, guest house and many Hindu temples were constructed near that landlord house. The number of places were amounting to almost 200. Among them, 40-50 were large. In 1658, Kaali (Hindu God) Mandir or temples were established here and The biggest Shiva Linga is also located here, weight is around 1000 kg.

Though this is a Zamindar Bari, but these days there is nothing left behind. Only few temples around (or probably there were few remnants). These are old temples which are in ruin, probably carrying the mark of 300 years or more. As per the reference, it should have the largest phallus of lord Shiva. There is a newly temple built beside the old ones and few people go there for the prayer. As per their information, it is an Iskon Temple (ইস্কন মন্দির).

This is a easy place to access. First you have to come to the Pirojpur district (পিরোজপুর জেলা). From Dhaka there are several ferries (locally known as launch) start for Pirojpur (পিরোজপুর) every night. You can ride any of those. Alternately you can come here using Bus as well.

More Stories

  • Rayerkathi (রায়েরকাঠী) is a less visited place that the tourists hardly explore. In fact there wasn't that much information about the place on internet. After visiting the Kirtipasha Jomidar Bari, we were heading towards the Khulna. We had to pass through the Pirojpur district (পিরোজপুর জেলা), and this Rayerkathi Jomidar Bari (রায়েরকাঠী জমিদার বাড়ি) resides in this district.
