This zamindar was the owner of 22 Nilkuthi and 46 mauzas. Rammohan Banerjee was very pious, just and generous. Bhai Gadadhar Bandyopadhyay subsequently further improved the zamindari.
Further more, there are twelfth Shiva temple on the left side of Singhadwar, Girigovardhan temple in front, along with Dolmandir and Jhulan temple, Ras temple on the right side, besides there are Durgamandir, Natmandir and Radhadamodarjiur temple. The Radhadamodarjiu temple has two shalgram rocks - the smaller one is Radhadamodarjiu, and the bigger one is Vanshigopaljeu. The Girigovardhan temple was built around 1835 AD.[6] This temple is a sign of a novel construction style.
