This blog contains 14 photos shot in Chilkigarh.
Chilkigarh Raj Palace in Chilkigarh is a mansion belonging to a royal family but I heard they have moved out. The palace is locally known as Chilkigarh Rajbari. In Bengali, 'rajbari' means 'royal residence'.
Renovation of Chilkigarh Raj Palace was on when I visited it for shoot. The West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation (WBTDC) is in negotiation with the owners of Chilkigarh Raj Palace to develop it as a heritage hotel. If the agreement goes through, the monument will become a palace resort.
Location : Jhargram District, West Bengal.
Photos shot in December 2018.
