Tangal Durbar, Rana dynasty palace in Kathmandu, Nepal

The Tangal Durbar stands with its neoclassical architectural design, featuring multiple courtyards, intricate wooden carvings, and symmetrical facades across the complex.

Built between 1918 and 1929, Bhim Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana commissioned this palace for his wife, Her Highness Sri Teen Sita Bada Maharani Deela Kumari Devi.

The palace structure displays the fusion of European and Nepali architectural elements, reflecting the cultural exchanges during the Rana period in Nepal.

Following nationalization in 1969, the building now houses both the Nepal Children Organization and the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts.

The 2015 earthquake caused substantial structural damage to Sita Bhawan, leading to ongoing discussions about restoration methods and preservation strategies.
