রহস্যময় টংকনাথের রাজবাড়িঃ মৃত্যুকুপ ও গোপন সুরঙ্গের খোঁজে; In search of the mysterious Tangknath palace: Death pit and secret tunnel
Raja Tongnath's palace belonged to Maldua Pargana in early 1900 AD. Which is currently located in Ranishankail Upazila, 40 km away from Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila of Bangladesh.
History
None of Raja Tongaknath's ancestors were zamindars. At present, a childless zamindar of Goala clan lived in a place called Katihar, 7 km east of Ranishankail upazila headquarters. Buddhinath, the father of Tongaknath, worked as a servant in the temple of the zamindar. Gowala zamindar, while leaving Kashi for India, signed a copperplate document stating that if he did not return, the temple would be owned by Sebayat Buddhinath zamindari. As the Goala zamindar did not return, Buddhinath became the owner of the zamindar. However, many people think that this incident may have happened before one or two men. Tongnath, the second son of zamindar Buddhinath, formed the State of Maldua to gain the trust of the then British government. In 1925, the then British government awarded the title of Chowdhury to Tongaknath for his social service work at various times. Later Maharaja Girijnath Roy of Dinajpur accepted the title of Raja.
Later, the state of Maldua was named Ranishankail after Queen Shankari Devi, wife of King Tongnath. On the eve of partition, the king left the zamindari and migrated to India. This ended the zamindari tradition of King Tongnath Chowdhury of Malduwa.
Construction of the palace
The palace was built in the late nineteenth century. During the reign of King Tongnath's father Buddhinath, the construction of the palace began. After the death of Buddhinath, King Tongnath completed the unfinished work of Rajbari.
Description of Rajbari
The palace is situated on about 10 acres of land on the banks of the Kulik River, 1.3 km east of the present Ranishankail Upazila Sadar. One has to enter the palace through a huge lion door. The red colored building has a distinct impression of Victorian decoration along with modernity in architecture. Adjacent to the Rajbari is the Kachari house in the north-east corner, two ponds to the east and the Ramchandra (Jayakali) temple 200 meters south of the Rajbari.
Repairs and maintenance
Before this, the palace and all the adjoining structures were neglected and abandoned for a long time, but we do not know whether any initiative was taken to restore it or not. However, on the basis of the writ petition filed by Advocate Md. Mehedi Hasan Shubo, the Hon'ble High Court Division on 29 August 2022 issued a rule and direction for the renovation and maintenance of the Rajbari of Tongkanath. Later, on 29 November 2023, the renovation and maintenance work of this royal palace started through the tender of the Directorate of Archeology of Bangladesh.
