A businessman from north India, Janardhan Upadhyay Garg, developed a large estate in the 16th century. During the days of Rani Janaki Devi, it reached its zenith in the 18th century. There are two palaces – the old one was built in 1840 and the new one in 1935. One can see stuffed animals, hunting weapons of the 16th and 17th century, paintings and furniture. Gopaljew and Ramjew temples are popular with tourists. The place is half an hours drive from Haldia.

| MAHISADAL RAJBARI Mahishadal and Geonkhali are tourist destinations.
The Mahishadal Rathayatra is held annually in Mahishadal in Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal. The rathayatra was founded by Janaki Devi of Mahishadal estate in the year 1776.
The Rajbari is well maintained and preserved and the outside view is extremely picturesque, particularly during sunset, there are couple of points which seems negative, at least to me -
a) The tickets are priced, but need to be purchased only if one visits the museum.However, the people who sell the ticket asks ticket for all,
b) No photo is allowed - The authorities can ask for a cost of using camera, but should not stop photography.
c) The entry free here is rupees 10, Nice property maintained by estate
people and owners. Museum is open for public for mimimal charges. Rajbari is beautiful.
I visited many places in Haldia, even some temples were located near to Haldi river. This was also good one, located at about 2 hour drive from haldia. Overall a good place
