Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari

The mansion is situated in Kirtipasha village of Jhalokathi District in the Barisal Division. It lies approximately 4 to 5 kilometers northwest of Jhalokathi Sadar.^[1]

The estate was established over a century ago by descendants of the zamindar family of Bikrampur in the late 19th century. In the early 1800s, Raja Ram Sengupta, a member of the Bikrampur zamindar lineage, settled in Kirtipasha village. He built two houses—one for each of his sons. The elder son's residence, known as the 10-ana Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari, was larger, while the younger son's 6-ana estate was comparatively smaller and has since been destroyed. Portions of the elder son’s mansion still remain.

The zamindar’s son was poisoned and died; his wife also died shortly after, and both were buried together. The estate still includes a natmandir (temple theater), hall room, and large and small Hindu temples.

Two notable figures from this zamindar family are Rohini Roy Chowdhury and Tapan Roy Chowdhury.^[1][2]
