People
will guide you to Rajbari, you just need to ask. It is a well-known Palace
in Dinajpur.
According to the history, Raja
Dinaj or Dinaraj is the establisher of the Dinajpur Rajbari. But others say
that after usurping the Ilyas Shahi rule, the familiar "Raja Ganesh"
of the early fifteenth century was the true founder of this Rajbari .
At the end of the seventeenth
century Srimanta Dutta Chaudhury became the zamindar of Dinajpur and after him,
his sister's son Sukhdeva Ghosh hereditary the property as Srimanta's son had a
premature death
In fact
the Dinajpur Rajbari is all in its remnant. Most of the palace are tumbledown.
Only few structures are alive. While entering the rajbari, you have to pass a
tall arched gate facing west. Inside the palace precinct near the gateway on
left is a colored Krisna temple and on right, some ruined outhouses and another
inner gateway that provides access to an inner square court. Facing the
courtyard on the east is a flat-roofed temple You will watch several statue of
the Hindu gods inside the Temple.
Principally, The Rajbari consist of three Mahals( named as Aina Mahal, Rani Mahal and Thakurbadi Mahal) and other minor buildings, established by different Rajas and Zamindars. A few number of temples, rest houses, charitable dispensaries, tanks and building of employees and retainers were also made within the Rajbari area.
