The construction of the famous dome of the Ahsan Mazil, which is at the center of the palace, took a lot tedious planning. The square room on the ground floor was built with a round shape and brickworks were done around the corners. To give the room an octagonal shape, squinches were given around the roof corners. The eight corners of the octagon was slanted gradually to make the dome look like the bud of a lotus ( kumud kali). The peak of this dome is 27.13 m above the ground. Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged during the tornado that occurred on 7th April 1888.the western block of Andermahal was completely demolished and later it was entirely rebuilt. The present day dome, which is situated on the top, was built during the time of reconstruction.

Rivers
The district is intersected by rivers of varying magnitude. But in fact, the river system is constituted by the Padma and the Jamuna with their interlacing offshoots and tribataties. Besides these flowing streams, the interior is visited by the abandoned beds of old rivers, most of which are dry except in the rains. The general trend of the drainage of the Serajganj subdivision is from north-west to south-east, the rivers entering it from the north-west flow into the Jamuna after a tortuous course. In the Sadar subdivision, however, the general slope of the country is from west to east, and the main rivers fall into Hurasagar, an offshoot of the Jamuna.

History
Archeologist Cunningham conjectured that the name Pabna might be derived from Pundra or Poondrobordhon civilization, whose capital was Mahasthangarh, the oldest city of Bangladesh, in neighbouring Bogra. But this hypothesis has not received general acceptance among scholars.
In 1859-61 the district was one of the major areas involved in the Indigo revolt. Beginning in Yusufshahi period in 1873 the serfs resisted excessive demands of incresead rents by feudal lords (zamindar), led by the nouveau riches Banerjees and Dwijendranath Tagore, by forming an Agrarian League. This largely peaceful movement found the support of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal George Campbell (1824–1892), who antagonised the absentee feudal lords. These protests are generally referred to as Pabna disturbances. In the following year the district was one of the worst hit by famine. The peasant's demands were finally partially met with the Rent Law Act of 1885.

Kuakata is a beautiful place of the southern part of Bangladesh which is sometimes called as æthe daughter of the Sea”. This 30 kilometers long beach is situated at Lotachapli union of Kalapara thana, which is in Patuakhali district of Barisal division. Kuakata is 70 kilometers away from Patuakhali Sadar and 320 kilometers away from Dhaka city. From history it is known that when Arakan, the house land of Rakhain at Mayanmer was in added and conquered by Barmerse king, the Rakhain people got into several big boats and started a journey to nowhere though the sea. Eventually their boats stopped at an island which happened to be Rangabali Island of Patuakhali district. They got out of the boats and started living there. Some of them entered the forest in search of food, cut down trees and cleared some areas. This area in the forest they called ‘Kanshai’ meaning Vagyekul in Bengali. Because they came there by crossing the sea. At first living was difficult for safety water. So they dug a well for drinking water. This ‘digging well’ eventually gave the place a name ‘Kua-Kata’. Near this well they set up a temple and established a statue of Buddha weighing 350 kg (approx) in it which was created with the mixture of eight minerals. For building the temple they followed the architectural patterns of Indochina. Therefore are can think that this is a temple from Thailand, Laos or Myanmar. The scaffold of the stature is three and half feet high and the height of the statue of Buddha 83 years ago when the community celebrated 25 hundred years of Buddhism. At the time Dayak (director) of the temple was Bachin Talukder, Being the charismatic leaders of the Rakhain community he expired in 1999. After his death his son Aug Summing took the responsibility. Beside the temple Shree Mougal Buddhist Biheer has been built following the architectural pattern of Indo China. Sitting hare Buddhist Vikkhurs preached sermons. Now a days nobody drinks the water of the well. It has been neglected for years. Only recently with the financial to assistance of Bangladesh Government the well, its surrounding areas and the temples are being renovated so that tourist can enjoy the site with convenience. It is beyond the power of anybody to describe the natural beauty of Kua-Kata Sea beach. Only you will have to enjoy it with your own eyes. At Sun rising, it seems a great bell of five rises from the sea to the sky and at Sun set slowly sinks the sun gently into the sea, only to return for the next day. As if the Sea in the home of the Sun. The beauty of the beach is enriched in full moon. It seems that the big waves are ready to embrace you in the moon light. When the moon Light is absent the waves sparkle in the darkness for the presence of phosphorus.Winter the sea remains calm and quiet during the winter. Medium size waves are found only during high tide, full moon or moonless night. The weather is very warm and cozy. The fishermen go deep into the Sea for fishing. The water of the Sea is excessively safety.

The waves will bring you on to the send this moment and the next moment it will move you on to the Sea. Therefore you will have to be careful, although accident is very very rare. The beauty of the Sea is enhanced by several times during high- tide. Low-tide During low-tide the Sea becomes life less. It looks as if dried up. At the beginning of the high-tide water increases rapidly. So if you stay in the water at this time, you will have to be more careful. During low-tide you can find snails and oysters on the sound, collecting them is good fun.
Morning The main attraction of the morning is Sun rising. The sight is simply overwhelming. You can walk in the beach for fresh pure air. The activities of the fishermen can also be sea.

After-noon The sun setting is simply charming. When the sun dives into the Sea, the whole water turns to red. Seeing the scenery the minds of the tourists are filled with joy. Night at night you can enjoy the sound of the surf breathing. It seems that this sound will continue on and on for endless time. If it is full moon your joy will know no bound. One can spend the night talking to the moon, waves and the sea. As the night journeys deeper, your intimacy with the sea will be manifold. You will feel poetic or romantic.
