Shovabazar Rajbari

Shovabazar

Built in 1757 by Raja Nabakrishna Deb to host Robert Clive after Plassey, its courtyard staged a lavish Durga Puja that Clive attended that same year.

Still a family home; you can usually see the courtyard and thakur dalan from the entrance. The family's Durga Puja is still held here each autumn.
