Shree Durbar, Rana palace in Kathmandu, Nepal.
The palace complex includes multiple courtyards, gardens, and buildings situated east of Lazimpat Durbar next to Patan Dhoka in central Kathmandu.
Construction began in 1927 under Chandra Shumsher JBR for his youngest wife Bal Kumari Devi and their sons General Madan Shumsher JBR and Vishnu Shumsher.
The palace structure incorporates elements of Neoclassical, Mughal, and European architectural styles, representing the design preferences of the Rana period.
Parts of the main building remain in possession of Madan Shumsher JBR descendants, while surrounding areas form the Sri Durbar Tole neighborhood.
The building houses the Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya collection, following the sale and distribution of much of the original palace grounds by Jagadamba Kumari Devi.
