Shanti Babur Barir Moth – Munshiganj

Shanti Babur Barir Moth is located in the village Tajpur (Shouth) from Serajdikhan. It would not take that much time to reach near the Moth from Serajdikhan bazar. This Moth is also known as Kankata Dey Moth (Kankata means without ear). The reason behind the peculiar name is, Mr. Shanti Ranjan Babu had only one ear, and another one lost accidentally. Local people use to believe that his ear was lost after a fight with a giant from water (myth).

This Moth was built around 100 years back. It has a large pond just in front of it. The guy Mr. Shanti Babu was killed so far I know (I could be wrong). Anyway, there are three Moths placed side by side. And three of those are different in size. One is much taller, other one is medium, and the last one is very small in size. It could mean the Moths are for a father, a mother, and a son (my wild guess).
