A peaceful refuge, away from city's hustle bustle, in a small village stands tall the great heritage of Itachuna Rajbari. It is a heritage property owned by the Kundu's. The whole era of Zamindars living in huge rooms (কখ্য ) with large courtyards in beautiful architectural abodes comes alive instantly.

 

 

 Our Story

Four of us friends went to the Rajbari to celebrate my birthday. I had been longing to go to this place and wanted to spend a night there just to experience the whole affair at night. We had booked a four-bedded room which costed Rs. 5103/- inclusive of taxes. We had to order our meals and snacks in advance. A non-veg meal costs about Rs. 260/-and breakfast costs Rs. 65/-. Not to mention, the taste and quality was simply awesome. We reached there at 7:30 pm on Saturday. Reaching there was not much of a problem, all thanks to Google Maps. 

 

On reaching there we were informed that the room we had blocked would not be available as the air-conditioning in the room was not proper. Instead we were offered another room named "Bilash Manjari" (বিলাশ মঞ্জরী). It was a huge room with 2 beds (1 dbl bed & 1sgl bed). They had provided and extra bed to accommodate four of us. The room was spacious with wooden furnitures. 

 




It was my birthday weekend and because my friends had already informed that to them. As a gesture, they prepared payesh (kheer) for me and presented a beautiful bouquet made from the flowers of the Rajbari Garden.  

The dinner we booked was Non-Veg (Mutton) Thali. Each and every item on the plate was very authentic and simply delicious! 







Usually they take you on a Rajbari tour at 4:30 in the evening which we had to skip as we were leaving the next day. However, they were courteous enough and took us on a brief Rajbari Trip in the night post dinner. There is a temple and a pond in the same premises. It would have been quite a treat to sit by the pond on those stairs with friends at dusk.
