Lal Durbar, Rana palace in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The red-colored Lal Durbar palace stands with multiple courtyards, gardens, and buildings displaying neoclassical architecture combined with Nepali design elements.

Constructed in 1890 by Bir Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana as a residence for his youngest wife Topkumari Devi, the palace later passed to Tej Shumsher.

The palace interior features traditional Nepali craftsmanship with detailed woodwork, painted ceilings, and architectural elements that represent late 19th-century artistry.

The palace complex spans 300 ropani of land and sits east of Narayanhity Palace, with Seto Durbar positioned to its southern side.

Following the 2015 earthquake that affected numerous structures in Kathmandu, restoration efforts preserved the architectural elements of this historical building.
