Kathgola palace, 18th-century palace in Murshidabad, India.

The four-story Kathgola Palace features Victorian lions at its entrance, ornate marble decorations, and a collection of mirrors throughout its grand halls.

The palace gained prominence after the Battle of Plassey in 1757 when Mir Jafar met with British representatives within its walls.

The palace grounds include multiple Jain temples, including the Adinath Temple from 1933, which houses 17 images of Jain Tirthankaras and other deities.

Located 215 kilometers from Kolkata, the palace museum displays period furniture, chandeliers, and artifacts that belonged to the wealthy Dugar family.

The name Kathgola derives from Kath Golap Garden, referring to the Wood Roses that once filled the 30-acre garden surrounding the palace.
