The
'Nawab
Palace'
;present
'Royal
Resort'
monitored
authority
of
'
Light
House',
is
located
in
Dhanbari
Upazila
of
Tangail
district,
about
150
km
away
from
Dhaka
city
on
Tangail
-
Jamalpur
higway.
This
palace
was
built
by
the
Nawab
Ali
Chowdhury
during
1919
to
invite
the
British
Lord
Ronaldshay.
He
Came
near
Koyra
using
the
Steamer
and
had
a
reception
with
30
elephants.
It
was
owned
by
Muslim
landlords,
so
they
didn’t
have
to
leave
the
country
or
had
nothing
to
fear.
They
were
powerful
during
their
ruling
period.
And
yet
still
they
are
powerful
on
that
region
now
a
days.
That’s
why
this
palace
is
still
in
a
very
good
condition
and
has
been
taken
proper
care
to
maintain
its
state.
One
of
the
decedents
from
the
Nawab
Family
named
Nawab
Hasan
Ali
Chowdhury
was
the
Industrial
Minister
during
the
reign
of
East
Pakistan.
Also
he
was
a
member
of
the
Parliament
during
1978.
Later,
after
his
death,
his
daughter
Saiyeda
Asheka
Akbar
was
the
member
of
the
Parliament
during
1981.
This
information
will
give
you
an
idea
about
their
power
and
now
you
understand
why
the
palace
is
still
in
a
good
condition.
This
700-year-old
traditional
mosque
adds
beauty
to
the
royal
resort
of
Dhanbari
Nawab
Manzil.
Built
in
the
Mughal
style
of
architecture,
the
Dhanbari
Mosque
features
exquisite
craftsmanship
in
its
mosaics
and
marble
floors.
This
Dhanbari
mosque,
built
on
about
10
khata
land,
was
rectangular
in
appearance
earlier,
but
after
various
renovations,
it
has
now
become
square
in
shape.
