Kajlagarh Palace: Digha Trip Incomplete Without Visiting This 400-Year-Old Ruin

• Discover the 400-year-old Kajlagarh Palace in Bhagwanpur, Purba Medinipur, a historical gem often missed on trips to Digha.
• Built in the 18th century by Mahendranarayan Roychowdhury, the ninth king of Sujamutha, this palace was a symbol of wealth.
• Originally named Kalirgarh after founder Gobardhan who installed Mother Kali's idol, it later became Kajlagarh.
• The site once featured a significant Navaratna temple of Gopaljiu, Shiva and Kali temples, a grand palace, queen's quarters, and a Rasmancha, all surrounded by a moat.
• Now in ruins and lacking preservation, this ancient palace is located about three kilometers from the Digha-Nandakumar 116B National Highway.
