Raj Bhavan, Colonial-era governor residence in Kolkata, India

The Raj Bhavan extends across 30 acres of land, featuring grand neoclassical architecture with a central structure and multiple radiating wings.

Constructed in 1803 during British rule, this mansion initially served as Government House before becoming the official residence of Bengal's governors.

The interior spaces, including 60 rooms and ceremonial halls, display extensive collections of paintings, antiques, and historical artifacts from various periods.

The Raj Bhavan opens its doors to visitors during specific occasions and scheduled tours, allowing the public to explore selected areas of the complex.

In 1892, the building received India's first elevator installation, marking a significant technological advancement in the country's architectural history.
