Itachuna Rajbari | A Heritage of West Bengal |
Itachuna
Rajbari is a century old Rajbari and a perfect heritage resort in Hooghly
district, about an hour drive from Kolkata. The place, a modern village offers
a perfect blend of nature and modernity to unwind in a royal ambience. The
Rajbari is a place where history resides and you can feel its princely
presence. The Rajbari is divided into five mahallas – a village courthouse, a
ballet dancing hall, kitchen house, guest house and an andar mahal for ladies.
It has one of the largest family temples of the Rajbaris of Bengal. The family
deity ‘Shreedhar Jeeu’ is still offered prayers four times a day, with
occasional mass gatherings in the plush courtyard. In the backyard of the
Rajbari, a lush green area, erstwhile ‘Khamar Bari’, now converted to an
outdoor shooting area. An adjoining pond with idyllic jungle is a hotspot for
get-togethers.
