Shobhabazar Rajbari Nathmandir, Royal palace and museum in North Kolkata, India.

The palace features an expansive central courtyard with multi-foliate arches supported by squared pilasters and eight substantial Tuscan columns in the Nat Mandap.

Raja Nabakrishna Deb constructed this palace before 1757, using wealth accumulated through assistance to British forces in their victory against Siraj ud-Daulah.

The palace hosts the annual Durga Puja celebrations, featuring a silver-covered idol and traditional Shehnai music performances by musicians from Varanasi.

The main palace remains private property, while the Nat Mandap section, managed by Kolkata Municipal Corporation, stands at 33-36 Raja Nabakrishna Street.

The structure includes a nabaratna temple at its northern end, containing the Radha Gobinda deity that the zamindar family has worshipped for 250 years.
