Jal Mahal

Royal remains of the 'Raja'-s of Narazole, at Lankagarh, Medinipur, West Bengal. It was built at a time when air conditioning was beyond thinking. They had their own idea to cool themselves, which is very similiar across the India across the times among the Royals whether it is Rana-s of Rajasthans or Mughals of Delhi.

Landmark


St John's church at Medinipur, West Bengal, India. Established in British colonial era in the year 1849. Still standing high, though in a shabby condition being one of the recognized landmark of the old town, a place much remembered for its role in India's freedom movement.
