zamindar of lower caste background, being
insulted on this account by someone at one of
the jalsas at Baldha Garden, decided to create
his own garden to outshine that of Baldha. Here
he staged jalsas of his own. The centerpiece of
the garden is an elegant pavilion. However, this
was not created as a residence, but rather a
setting for entertainment such as musical
performances (although subsequent owners did
use it as a house). This extravagant lifestyle
caused Hrikesh to go bankrupt and he was
forced to sell the property.
