Bonedi Barir Durga Pujo - Dhanyakuria Gaine Raj Bari - Durga Puja 2025 - Hidden Gems of India
Dhanyakuria – a rural village, barely 52 kms away from Kolkata, in North 24 Parganas, that reminds the great lifestyle of that era, when affluent Bengali zaminders built magnificent palaces with neo-classical European touch and British influence. The elaborate iconic Corinthian pillars symbolize the splendour of British empire through magnificent Roman architecture.
Gaine estate was founded by Gobinda Chandra Gaine nearly 200 years ago when he migrated from a nearby village called “Kolshur”. In the colonial period of Indian history, jute emerged as an important cash crop. Gobinda Chandra was extremely successful in trade and commerce which was further expanded by his able 4 sons – Khirodhar, Nafar Chandra, Mahendranath and Akshay Kumar – who put in collective endeavor in the business with their trading zeal. The family established their zamindari not only in Dhanyakuria alone, but all-over different parts of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal and was one of the three zamindars along with the Sawoos and Ballavs. The family-owned multiple properties and was very much into welfare and charitable causes. The family built the Basirhat Town Hall along with Basirhat Hospital and also the High School and Primary Dispensary in their village Dhanyakuria.
