Part-02
Preparations have been going on for the last two days, we left that morning and the place we went to was Manikganj Balihati Rajbari. From there we went straight to Manikganj Paturia Ferry Terminal. Once there, we had a short lunch. The food consisted of rice, curry, meat and live hilsa of Padma. Which is cooked after we choose. There we waited for the ferry, a little late for the ferry after lunch, so we faced the rain and then immediately we ignored the rain and got busy taking pictures at the end of the rain.part-1

I tried to highlight the history of the entire palace.
In fact, I love my country very much. I am proud I am Bengali. So a limited attempt to present one's country to the world. I will be encouraged if you help from the side.

Thanks everyone
