Mahishadal RajBari
Mahishadal Rajbari, located in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal, is a historic royal palace dating back to the 16th century when the region was known as Jibonkhali. Founded by Janardhan Upadhya, a high-ranking officer in Emperor Akbar's army, the estate flourished under successive rulers including Rani Janaki Devi, who oversaw its peak in the late 18th century and built several notable temples such as the Madan Gopal temple and Ram temple.
The Rajbari complex features two main palaces: the old palace or Phoolbari and the newer one or Jhutanbari, the latter now serving as a museum displaying royal artefacts, antique furniture, weapons, and hunting trophies that narrate the family’s rich heritage.
The estate is also famous for its grand Rath Yatra festival that has been celebrated since 1776, drawing many visitors. Surrounded by green gardens and serene ponds, Mahishadal Rajbari remains a cultural and architectural landmark reflecting the legacy of Bengal’s royal families and is a favored destination for history buffs and tourists alike.
