Opposite Daltonganj on the west bank of the Koel is the
village SHAHPUR in which Gopal Rai, the Raja of Palamu built a palace in the end of the 18th
century. Shahpur stands on a high tract of land and the ruined place, the white temple and
the masonry building present a picturesque view from Daltonganj. A nearer view of the
palace is disappointing for what looks in the distance like an imposing edifice is seen to
be half- finished building of little architectural importance. |
