Panam Nagar is a ghostly remnant of a 19th-century trading hub, where wealthy Hindu merchants built ornate mansions and temples. Today, visitors walk along the main street lined with dilapidated but still majestic buildings, many featuring Indo-European architectural fusion. The eerie silence and decaying grandeur offer a poignant glimpse into the region's commercial past, with peacocks often seen roaming among the ruins.
