Memories of Itachuna
After the guided walking tour of both Andarmahal and Bahirmahal at Itachuna Rajbari Resort in Pandua of Hooghly District, we headed towards its garden café built much in the Santiniketan mode, dim-lit and surrounded by trees of rare species. By then the cicada song was in the air along with a strange honking of an unknown bird. As we were about to place an order of jhalmuri, fish fries and masala tea, the deep mellifluous sound of a flute took us by very pleasant surprise.
