Dighapatia Raj, Zamindari estate in Rajshahi, Bangladesh

The Dighapatia Palace complex includes traditional buildings spread across extensive grounds in the northern region of Bangladesh, near the city of Natore.

The estate belonged to seven generations of rulers from the early 18th century until 1950, when the East Pakistan government abolished the zamindari system.

The Rajas of Dighapatia established the Varendra Research Museum and supported multiple educational institutions throughout North Bengal during their administration.

Visitors can reach the palace by taking local transport from Rajshahi city, with rickshaws and autorickshaws available at Madrasa Junction for 30 taka.

The palace now serves as Uttara Ganabhaban, the official northern residence for Bangladesh government heads, hosting cabinet and diplomatic meetings.
