Rani Siromoni Garh : Resort near Karnagarh temple

  Rani Siromoni Garh: Resort near Karnagarh temple In this era of concrete jungle a little greenery gives you the feel like oasis.Recently govt of west bengal developed a resort near medinipur city named Rani Siromoni Garh on the land of Karnagarh royal family. Karnagarh (also written as Karnagar) is a village and a gram panchayat in the Salboni block in the Medinipur Sadar subdivision of the Paschim Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal, India.   Karnagarh fort consisted of about 100 bighas of land, stretching for about 4 miles, that was surrounded by the Parang River. It was about 4 miles north of Midnapore. The inside of the fort was divided into two parts, the andar mahal for the royal family and the sadar mahal for others. The temples of Dandesvara and Mahamaya, the ruling deities of Karnagarh, were located to the south of the fort. Now, hardly anything, other than memory, remains.The Karnagarh family had two other forts nearby – at Abasgarh and Jamdargarh.     Booking o
