Destination guide
Jahapur Zamindar Bari
জাহাপুর জমিদার বাড়ি
A nearly four-hundred-year-old zamindar mansion at Jahapur, Muradnagar — and the remarkable part: the thirteenth generation still lives here, with the original furniture intact. With its fairy-tale look, the house has become a favourite for photographs.
History & significance
The family of ancestor Shri Kanailal Ray prospered in the jute trade; the zamindari is said to have been established under the ninth descendant, Shri Gouromohan Ray. Of ten buildings, two have nearly fallen, the rest are mostly doing fine — one traveller's honest account.

About 48 km from town. Take a Companiganj or Muradnagar-bound bus from Cumilla and get off at Jahapur — fare ৳80–100.
