Anguri Padhi Palace

The Anguri Padhi Palace is a mansion built in the center of Bakha. Constructed in 1805, this lavish and regal house was built for Prince Anguri Padhi who was the 7th son of King Muhammad VII of Kapil. However, after a republican overthrow of the monarchy three years later, the house was occupied by a famed noble statesman, Abhi Mahanti. In 1840, the house was sold to the former Emperor, Simon II who resided there after his abdication up until his death in 1863. After Simon's passing, the palace was passed to his little brother Geoffrey, who sold it at 20,000,000 in 1864. Currently, the house is owned by President Varuni Rajavade however he does not reside in it.
