Four separate villages called Amba, Fatehpur, Bahina and Mallarpur merged to form a small town Mallarpur.

As one drives to Mallarpur, off the now busy highway, one will see a grand old ruin dominating the landscape for miles around. This is the Kacheri Baari or the Court House. Built in the late 18th century, this building must have been stunning in its heydays. As one enters through a once grand, but now rusted, metal gate, one comes into the front lawn, about 50 yards long. At the end of it, like a giant spider, sits the Kacheri Baari, a haunted house.

There is a "Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram Hostel" near Amba at Mollarpur beside Ramkrishna Ashram.

There is the burial place (samadhi) of Krishnananda Agamavagisha, at Molleswar Shiva temple ground. Krishnananda Agamavagisha was the great tantrik and author of "Brihat Tantrasara" and inventor of Dakshina Kali idol, and guru of Ramprasad Sen.

Note: The map alongside presents some of the notable locations in the area. All places marked in the map are linked in the larger full screen map.

There is a police station at Mallarpur.
