Siddhu-Kanhu Park

The Siddhu-Kanhu Park is located behind SDO Bungalow and in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s residence. It is considered as an amusement park and stands near the Martello Tower. This park is built by the British rulers of Palur to defend their Raj here from the onslaughts of Santhal warriors who had waged struggle to drive out the Englishmen, tyrant Jamindars, and Banias of their land. Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu were the leader of the Santhal rebellion, the native rebellion in present-day Jharkhand and Bengal (Purulia and Bankura) in eastern India against both the British colonial authority and the corrupt zamindari system.
