You can observe the display gallery that is having lot of photos of Bongobondhu from different occasions and times. It is probably a gallery and library together. It has an open stage with an ‘audience gallery’ beside the library.

It requires to go through a long path from the gallery to the grave. The grave is covered under a nicely designed structure. Everyone is allowed to enter inside the structure, but not allowed to take any photographs.

After exploring everything around, you can return from there and come outside to have foods. There are several fast food shops which basically sell the Chotpoti and Fuchka. There is a vast paddy field beside that area.
