In West Chhagalnaiya, on Satbari Road, lies the eight-acre estate of the Hindu zamindar Binod Bihari. Beside the house stand seven memorial (cremation) temples, which is why the place is called Sat Math or Sat Mandir Bari. The zamindar left for Kolkata around 1948, and local families now live in the old buildings. It is listed by the Department of Archaeology but is almost unknown outside Feni.
