Nargona Palace - Darbhanga District, Bihar, India - Historical place in Darbhanga - Darbhanga, India

This is not a place to celebrate any holiday, this is the postgraduation department of Lalit Narayan Mithila University.

Actually it is a department of Sanskrit University, and entry is not usually allowed by the guards. Don't know for what reason. It isn't too aesthetic. Just looks like an old hostel

Nargona Palace is situated at Darbhanga in State of Bihar, India. This Palace was the last royal Brahmin palace to be built in Raj Darbhanga. The city of Darbhanga was one of the major cities to be destroyed in the 1934 Nepal- Bihar Earthquake that rocked northern part of Bihar. Almost the entire city had been destroyed. The Palaces in Darbhanga also suffered major damage. Moti Mahal Palace was entirely destroyed in earthquake. Anand Bagh Palace and Ram Bag Palace were severely damaged and were rebuilt after the earthquake. Maharaja Kameshwar Singh of Darbhanga then decided to build a new Palace with the best earthquake resistant technology available at that time. The Palace incorporated the best earthquake resistant features when built and its ability to withstand earthquake was demonstrated in 1988 when another earthquake rocked Bihar. It is probably the first building in India to incorporate earthquake resistant technology. The palace is a simple looking building with no outstanding features. The thrust being on building's ability to withstand major earthquake, no unnecessary features to beautify the building were added. A first time visitor, expecting to see a beautiful looking Palace, would be greatly disappointed in looking at a plain but massive building. The Palace along with its surrounding garden, orchards, etc. as well as Head Office building of Raj Darbhanga was donated in 1972 to Government of Bihar for establishing a University. Now Lalit Narayan Mithila Univeris beneficiary of donation and functions from these buildings. khne ko yh bhaart ke sbse amiir jmiiNdaar kaa aakhrii mhl hai, lekin hiNdustaan ko isne bhut kuch phlii baar dikhaayaa / yh bhaart kaa phlaa bhuukNprodhi mhl hai / ddc vaastushailii meN bne is mhl ko prsiddh vaastukaar sh abhiyNtaa phelcr, hey aur ridd ne saamuuhik ruup se kiyaa thaa / mhaaraajaa kaameshvr siNh ne iskaa nirmaann 1934 meN aaye bhuukNp ke baad ksstigrst chtr nivaas pailes ke sthaan pr kraayaa thaa / is mhl meN ek bhii iiNtt kaa pryog nhiiN huaa hai / yh puuraa mhl siimeNtt ke mjbuut khNbhoN aur diivaaroN se bnaa hai / yh bhaart kaa phlaa mhl hai jo puurnnt: vaataanukulit thaa / yh desh kaa iklautaa pailes hai, jiske prisr meN relve stteshn hai / is pailes kii sbse bddii khuubii iskaa ddijaain hai, yh titlii jaisaa hai / jiske tht yh do dishaaoN se dekhne meN ek smaan lgtaa hai aur hr kmraa siidhaa saamne kii or khultaa hai / 1941 meN taiyaar hue ddj vaastushailii ke is 89 kmroNvaale do mNjile pailes meN kul 14 mhaaraajaa suutt hai, jo vibhinn raajyoN ke sthaapty shailii se susjjit hai / in suuitt meN ek nepaal ke raajaa kaa bhii hai, jismeN nepaal nresh tribhuvn raat gujaar cuke haiN / khaa jaataa hai ki nepaal nresh desh kii siimaa ke baahr raat nhiiN gujaaraa krte the / phlii baar nepaal ke kisii raajaa ne raajy kii siimaa ke baahr isii mhl meN raat gujaarii thii / isse phle nepaal ke raajaa raat apnii siimaa meN hii gujaarte the / vaise biikaaner kee mhaaraajaa gNgaa siNh is mhl meN tthhrnevaale phle raaj atithi the / vo 1939 meN drbhNgaa prvaas ke dauraan isii mhl meN tthhre the / do liphtt kii suvidhaavaale is mhl meN phlii baar plaasttr aaph peris kaa pryog huaa thaa / itteliyn maarvl, ciinii mohbnii (ttiik) aur beljiym glaas se bne is mhl ko bihaar kaa vhaaiitt haaus bhii khaa jaa sktaa hai / kii prkaar ke kmroNvaale is mhl meN uttr bhaart kaa iklautaa boNl ddaaNs hoNl hai, jismeN aavaaj kii guuNj raassttrpti bhvn ke ashok hoNl se bhii km hai / is mhl meN do trnntaal haiN, jinmeN se ek grm paanii vaalaa trnntaal pailes ke aNdr hai aur vh bihaar kaa phlaa trnntaal hai / is trnntaal meN jypur ke mhaaraajaa svaaii maan siNh aur nepaal ke raajaa tribhuvn smet kii etihaasik hstiyoN ke snaan krne kii baat khii jaatii hai / laaNg ttenis, baiddmiNttn se lekr kii prkaar ke kheloN ke lie prisr meN aadhaarbhuut sNrcnaa bnaayii gyii haiN / iske alaavaa ek jaivik udyaan bhii, jisko duniyaa ke prsiddh baagvaan caals mairiij kii dekh rekh meN chtr vilaas pailes ke dauraan hii viksit kiyaa thaa / ismeN kriib 40 hjaar pedd lge the / cNdn smet kuch aisii prjaatiyoN ke pedd bhii yhaaN lgoy gye, jo bihaar hii nhiiN apitu eshiyaa meN kevl yhiiN the / in peddoN ko lgaane ke lie n kevl baahr se paudhe mNgaaye gye blki baahr se maattii bhii mNgaayii gyii / is mhl ke paas ek aur rikaardd hai, vo yh hai ki bhaart ke raassttrpti raajy ke atithi hote haiN / So must visit and enjoy....

U can get the best view of city here. It's a educational place but accessible for the normal citizen also. Good place to hangout but maintain the dignity.

Very very nice place most in darbhnga....here are some historical monuments

This place is used for academic purposes now. The postgraduate departments of Lalit Narayan Mithila University are run here. The campus has significant number of trees and a pond as well.
