Ruins of Raja Ballal Sen's palace

Very nice place .one of the most beautiful place in gour malda

The site is newly excavated somewhere around 2005 (unconfirmed) and is remains of Ballal Sen's palace. This alongwith Jahajghata and Baishgazi (22 yards) wall are all places of historic interest which are located nearby. The basic problem here is, there are no guides, no officials in the area who can throw light upon the monument. Infact, the boards hosted at the site are completely washed away and are totally unreadable. One of the main reason for Gour not being a hot tourist spot despite being in the similar status of Murshidabad, Bishnupur etc, is lack / non availability of information at the site. There are no persons / officials available near the sites to explain the importance, historic relevancy to the visitors, barring a couple. Authorities should look into this aspect to attract more crowd. Recommended.

" Very Unique Degine of lord of sahang time, called Ballav ghar, Famous movie Bojhe na sey bojhe na song kothin tamke chhara ek din shooting here, not entry in the site.. just click or seen outer of the part. Very important and beautiful. Many visitor every year visit the place"

Seat of Raja Ballal Sen of the Sen Dynasty of Bengal.. Ballalbati

It's an okay ok place to visit. The mango tree garden is good to hang out some time. You may visit this place once.

This is called "Ballal Bati"..............… This is a historical or archaeological site........... This site is visited by many tourists....... This is the capital of Ballal Sen ........... This palace was surrounded by thick and high wall......... But for less cure this place becomes a Khandar........... You can visit this archaeological site..........

Very nice, clean place.. But very little details of the place/history is written for the visitors.

Ballalbati is a relatively new addition to the ancient charm of Gour. Archaeological Excavations have unearthed the existence of ancient palaces from the glorious periods of Bengal's history. However the sites have almost zero surveillance and a lot of ancient ruins have been hijacked. Its a popular picnic destination for the locals though visit is not recommended in the evening.

The Ballal bowl was discovered only in 2003 and till now very little history is known about it from historical sources. Legend has it that underground were the remains of the palace of King Ballal Sena (or Ballal Sen) of the Sena dynasty. Excavations revealed the foundations of a larger building, but it is suspected to be the site of a palace. I heard from a local that they were used for indigo cultivation in ancient Gouda. Another theory suggests that these are Buddhist "viharas" or remains of monasteries, so further research is needed to unravel the mystery.

There was no ticket

A Historical Landmark at Gour Malda, probably worked as old dock in medieval period. Re-opened after lockdown recently. Calm and quiet, away from the chaos of town, in the midst of Mango tree garden.

Losses every think no one care about the place !!

Nice historical place

Need maintenance

Remanants of the king's palace.

Ballal Bati

Worst protection by ASI at this remains.....a remarkable part of Hindu reign in Bengal, its history and domain seems deliberately neglected.

It's a very ancient place, and also Historical

An excavation site surrounded by mango orchards, which became famous after a Buddhist inscription was recently .Unfortunately/fortunately entry into the ruins has been restricted by ASI.

Historical place.: Ballal Bati is a relatively newly excavated site within the enclosure of Baish Gazi wall where a royal palace of Ballal Sen supposedly existed This place is closely associated with the name of Ballal Sen, the king of Gaur. From what I see it looks like it was a kitchen. It can be part of any castle. This place may have been used for cooking food for soldiers.

Nice and beautiful place....
