Haripur Rajbari

Haripur Rajbari is located in the heart of Haripur upazila of Thakurgaon district of Bangladesh . This Rajbari is established by the zamindars of Haripur.On 3 acres of 27 acres of land, the landlord established the kachari for the construction of the house and zamindari, various religious places for religious festivals, dance frames, nagmahal, andrandhal and black hole etc. for entertainment.In approximately 1400, a businessman named Ghanshyam Kundu came to Haripur to do Andy's clothes. At that time a widow Muslim woman named Meherunnessa was the zamindar of this region. Due to the renovation of rent, some parts of Meherunnessa zamindari got auctioned when Ghanshyam bought Kundu.Raghavendra Roy, one of the descendants of Ghanshyam, started the work of Haripur Rajbari during the British period in the middle of the nineteenth century. But in the days of the palace all the work was not done. Jagannath Narayan Roy, the son of Raghbendra Rai, finished the construction of the Rajbari in the late nineteenth century. During this time, he was awarded the Rajshahi title by the British government. Jagannath Narayan Roy's finished royal palace has various designs on Lataapada and 14-odd bust of Rajendra Jagannath Narayan on the eastern wall. Besides, there is a Shiva temple and Nat Mandir in front of the temple on the east side of the building. There was a huge library in the Rajbari that was lost in time. The lion's house which was in the Rajbari was also wiped out. Haripur Rajbari also became divided into two separate parts when the descendants of Ghanshyam were divided in 1900. The house that Raghavendra-Jagga Narayan Roy made was named as Rajdhari of Baroof Known. Nagendra Bihari Roy Chaudhary and Girija Bolval Roy Chaudhary built another rajbari in 1903, on the west side of this Rajbari, which is named after the small Tarafa Rajbari.
