Smith imported bricks and tiles from India as he was fascinated by the Hindu Culture. His castle architecture features is similar to South India, Madras. He even employed Indian workers to work on the contruction of the building.
There were 2 tunnels in the castle. The tunnels is connected to a Hindu Temple 15km from castle along the Kinta River. Now, the tunnel is sealed for safety reason.
The temple is built because of the "Spanish flu", many workers in the estate was killed for this decease. He is advised to built the temple by locals people to appease from God.
