ভোলানাথ ধাম Bhōlānāth Dhām
A mansion with a large courtyard, known for the "fanush" (ফানুস phānus) festival celebrated in the afternoon of Diwali, where paper-made sky lanterns called phānus are flown. These sky lanterns work like hot-air balloons, where the air inside is heated with a cloth rag ball (লুটি luṭi) soaked in spirit, which is attached to the base of the lantern. The venue of the phānus festival was purchased in 1925 by Raghunath Dutt and is named after his father, Bholanath Dutt. The first phānus festival was also observed there in 1925, and various theme-based sky lanterns are now flown from the mansion.

Mohun Bagan Villa
A memorial housed in the palace that gave birth to one of Kolkata's premier football clubs. The name "Mohun Bagan" comes from that garden that belonged to Gopi Mohun Deb of the Sovabazar Raj family, which was replaced by the present building built by jute merchant Kirti Chandra Mitra. In front of the building, there's a group sculpture named "Amar Ekadash" (literally the "immortal eleven"), depicting the eleven team members of the Mohun Bagan Athletic Club that won the IFA Shield in 1911, which was a historic win against East Yorks, symbolising Indian nationalism back then.
