The western diamondback rattle snake owned by Bonbiharibabu and the villa deep in the Lakshmanjhula-Rishikesh
forest, where he tried to kill Feluda and Topshe with it in the Badshahi Angti. This was possibly the closest call with death
that the duo had in their careers. This adventure reminds one of the Holmes’ story, The Adventure of the Speckled Band

Rohosshyo. The site is the Kata Thakurani’s temple deep in the Duars forest, where Feluda confronted a tiger, another

The Gold Bug and Tagore’s Guptodhon, all of which featured trees as their central motifs

The tiger that Feluda killed in Royal Bengal Rohosshyo and the gun with which he did it. The gun
