Shobhabazar Rajbari (Shobhabazar Royal Palace) is the palace of the Shobhabazar royal family located in the Indian city of Kolkata.

History

Maharaja Nabakrishna Deb (1733–97), founder of the Shobhabazar Rajbari royal family (at 35), started life as a modest aristocrat but soon amassed enormous wealth in his service to the British, in particular by his role in assisting to topple Siraj ud-Daulah. During his lifetime Maharaja Nabakrishna Deb built two palaces, together the largest palace in Calcutta. The palace at 35 Raja Nabakrishna Street (known as Shobhabazar Rajbari or "Baag ola Bari - Palace with the lions"), on the northern side of the road, was the one first constructed by him, subsequently inherited by his adopted son from his elder brother Gopimohan and his descendants including his son Raja Radhakanta Deb.

The palace at 33 Raja Nabakrishna Street (known as Choto Rajbari) was built by him when a son was born to him later in life, and was left to his biological son Raja Rajkrishna and his descendants.

Features

Although originally a saat-mahala house the most intact of the remaining spaces is the courtyard with the thakurdalan. A saat khilan thakurdalan with multi-foliate arches supported on pairs of squared pilasters. Pairs of columns with plain shafts rise up between the arches to support the entablature above.

The main residence

The Nat Mandap.

A large central courtyard with the thakurdalan at the northern end. A paanch khilan takurdalan with multifoil arches supported on compound columns. the double storey wings on either side of the courtyard connect the thakurdalan with the naach ghar to the south. The roof of the naach ghar has fallen through and very little of the superstructure remains.

The Nat Mandap
