Binod Behari Pal was a cashier of the Maharaja of Burdwan. He had received 102 bighas from the zamindar in this area and settled on the bank of the Kana Damodar that flowed through this part at that time. The river has long since moved away but the settlement has remained here. Binod Behari had established the zamindari here and it was named Jot Binod. The smooth asphalt road that runs from Bargachhia through Jagatballavpur to Amta and Hooghly district, runs through a heritage site that is many centuries old. The palatial Pal family residence that covered 10 bighas was cut into half by this road in the 1960s. While passing by, one is likely to notice the dilapidated terracotta temple on the left. A curious traveller is bound to stop by and take a look. For locals, this is an old Shiva temple that has withstood the test of time for many generations. But for those who know, this temple could just be the tip of another history hidden in the villages of Bengal. A closer look reveals stories of war engraved in the red tiles on the front walls of the temple. Some of them are ruined and the figures can hardly be distinguished. The structure lies in neglect, and a banyan tree has made its home on top of it. A kasthi pathar (touchstone) Shivalinga stands inside the dark sanctum sanctorum. Right opposite the temple is the remnant of a palace entrance, also covered in heavy foliage. A pillar with a lion sitting on top stands out on one side of the gate. The temple was built in 1170 of the Bengali calendar, by Bishnu Ram Pal, in the courtyard of the family mansion. In that very year Bishnu Ram Pal made houses in interioir villages like Bamunpara, Bankul, Dhasa, Fingagachi, Dwipa, Maju and Gowalpota.Tuesday bazaar was set up in most of these villages and few of them are still functional. The erstwhile palace of the Pals is now a ruin, with parts of the boundary wall in tact running along with the old chandimandap. Inside this boundary is another ancient Singhabahini temple that dates back to nearly 800 years. As the family lore goes, Binod Behari Pal was taking a dip in the river one morning when the touchstone idol of Singhabahini floated near him. Binod Behari took the idol back home where it was worshipped regularly. Later, a temple was established for the deity inside the mansion by Buddhimanta Pal. It is believed that the Pal familys prosperity increased after the Singhabahini deity had come to the house. In fact, Durga puja had started in this house after Singhabahinis worship and it has never stopped since then.Today Maju is a prosperous village and the famous Maju Bazaar, which is the heart of Maju village, is owned by the then landlords from Mondal family. Their 200 year old two storied house still stands today as a proof of their glorious past. The Maju Bazaar has been developed into a multi storied building by one of the eminent personalities of Mondal family - Mr. Anjan Mandal, a Chartered Accountant by profession. A Nationalised Bank, the Bank of India branch being operative from this Maju Bazaar building at present has helped the local village people substantially and also contributed to the economic development of the village.
