★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well, as you can see from the photos, nothing much about to talk about it!
As explained by Ms Tanima in her review!
Only one can hope the Central or State Government takes better care of the Historical buildings!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a history behind this place.... But it is very known to us... As we know that the kings used to put victims in the dark Gumghar, and people got death within few days due to lack of sufficient air to breathe. So this place is not soooo special ....

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ People who were against the Malla kings were thrown into the small enclosure with high walls till they died. The structure is still as mysterious as it was in its glorious years. We can see the ruins of the Mahaprabhu temple near the main road, in terms of style it is similar to Keshtorai temple but largely in a dilapidated state. A few hundred meters ahead we see a mysterious square terracotta structure. It is known as Gumghar, perhaps the torture chamber for the criminals built during the Malla era.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's basically an ancient jail to keep the prisoners.
This Gumghar was made of laterite soil and expressed as historical culture of ancient prisoners.
Sorry to say due to unhealthy behavior of govt, we can see this historical rich cultured building will be broken and engulfed by today's world.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gum Ghar, not Gum Garh, is the true name for the location. Garh is a Bengali word that signifies castle. This isnt a castle in the traditional sense, but rather a modest enclosure. This is where the Malla Rulers of Rarh Bangla executed their captives of war, and it is more appropriately written Goom Ghar, which means chamber for vanishing. Simply Gum Ghar, which translates to chamber where people were left to die! The entire structure appeared to be composed of terracotta and red clay fire-bricks. Inside, we also discovered some ancient weaponry that had been preserved. A spooky harbinger of the Middle Ages. Definitely worth a visit if youre going that side.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Visited in February 2022) - It's an execution site / condemnation place i.e, a sort of bottomless pit for prisoners during the reign of the erstwhile Mallabhum rulers. Nothing much to see, just passed through...
