Opened in 2021 the 54,000-square-foot museum exhibits the restored narrow-gauge steam and diesel engines and old coaches of the Mayurbhanj State Railway.

North west of the ruins of Queen’s Palace lies the ruins of the Radhamohan Temple. It is approached by a faintly marked trail meandering past scrubs and bushes. The ruined structure is housed inside a walled complex with the entry gate on the eastern side. The temple is the result of Vaishnava influence and incorporates elements of Bengal architecture from the Gouda region. The ruined structure stands on an elevated platform with a flight of stairs on the eastern side. Only a portion of a few side walls remains of the temple.

This is a partially excavated site, whose layout revels a large a grand multi-room courtyard layout, featuring dedicated residential chambers, a Nrutyashala (dance and performance hall), and a private tank used exclusively by the royal. Sadly, nothing much remains of the grand structures. The layout of the rooms and the halls can only be traced out.

Rasik Raya Temple is the most prominent structure of the entire Haripur Garh. The temple was built by Baidyanath Bhanja in the early part of the 17th century. The brick temple follows a typical Bengali-style aat-chala plan and stands at the eastern end of an elevated platform. The platform is approachable from the western end by a semi-circular flight of stairs. The temple probably had an extended structure in the front portion, but it has collapsed leving behind only traces of the structure. The temple has a triple-arched entrance and once the front face had elaborate terracotta ornamentation. Over the centuries, the terracotta ornamentation has faded away and only small traces of it can be seen after careful observation.
