    Attraction

    Chandraketugarh is one of the city’s major tourist attractions. But it is very unfortunate that the whole place is under soil. It was discovered by accident during the construction of adjacent work. You can see only the mound in this place.
    All the palace and other things are under the soil. But the surroundings and historical value make it a worthwhile tour. However, there are many items of this fort and terracotta that are in the collections of museums in India and abroad. These items are very precious, and from that, you can learn and see a lot of things.

    Inside/Outside Views

    The view of this place is amazing. It is mainly situated in the town area and has lush greenery. The place is so beautiful that you can’t leave it early. However, in the place, there is only mud and mound, and nothing is left. From mud and mounds, you can understand the very proper way. The area of this place is small. The houses in this place are all around. The roads nearby are not wide. Local people come here to enjoy their free time. However, the unfortunate fact is that there are no boards to describe its history. The atmosphere of this place is calm and peaceful. But the maintenance of this place is very poor. It is our ancient symbol; the government should take care of it. If we can’t take care of these things, maybe one day, this place will no longer be the same. It is our rich Cultural heritage, so we should take care of it.Chandraketugarh
