Lakkhansaha Zamindar Bari

In the then India, this area was known as Debottar. Debottar basically means waqfah land. At that time there was no need to pay rent to the zamindar if it was Debottar land. This zamindar house was built by zamindar Lakshan Saha. Originally he was a sub-zamindar under the chief zamindar. Zamindar Lakshan Saha had three sons (Nikunja Saha, Perimohan Saha, and Banku Saha).

Banku Saha moved to India from here during the Partition of India. Two brothers remain. Nikunja Saha also migrated to India shortly before the emergence of independent Bangladesh from Pakistan. Then Perimohan Saha remained. This Perimohan Saha had one son, his name was Buddhist Narayan Saha. Ahmed Ali (lawyer) bought the house from Buddhist Narayan Saha. Originally, Mr. Ahmed Ali was associated with the profession of advocacy, so this zamindar’s house is now better known as the house of a lawyer.
