Muktagachha palace
My friends and I made a plan to visit the ancient places of Bangladesh. A few months ago we went to Mymensingh. We went to see Mymensingh Agricultural University and other beautiful places in the city. We also went to the river Brahmaputra. Finally, we went to see the Muktagachha royal palace which is a treasure of Bangladesh. It is an age-old witness of history. When we walked inside the castle it was like we were entering the ancient world. One would start thinking that once upon a time people walked around here, there were king, queen and royal personnel, a whole different piece of world. The palace is really magnificent. Apart from the living places for king and queen, the palace consists of an in-house bungalow, a round stage for entertainers, a weather house, a jail for the convicts, a secret locker for keeping treasures and many other things. Many old temples are there around the palace. Some temples were built by the Hindu kings centuries ago.
The treasure is there, but we are not preserving it. This palace is now in a sordid condition. There is doubt if anything would ever be done by the authorities to save this precious palace from destruction.
