Mymensingh Rajbari

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:17:05

Built between 1905 and 1911, this well-kept former mansion in the middle of the city is now occupied by an organisation that trains female teachers, but much of the original structure remains. An ornamental marble fountain with a classical statue of a semi-nude nymph lies just beyond the arched gateway entrance. Behind the main building is the Jal-Tungi, a small two-storey bathhouse once used as the women’s bathing pavilion. You can politely ask the security guard for admittance to the grounds, but it is doubtful whether he will grant you a glimpse of the interior of the building.
