It was the court of the Debi Singha, who is historically renowned for being the tax collector during the British Raj. He came from [Panipat](/source/Panipat) .

==Nashipur Akhara==
Nashipur [Akhara](/source/Akhara) is situated close to the Nashipur Rajbari on the east of the [Bhagirathi River](/source/Bhagirathi_River). The motto of the Akhra is to remain a bachelor for one's life. It is actually here where every year Jhulan Yatra and the famous fair is held. People from far off assemble here to witness the dramas held on this auspicious occasion. In the Nashipur Akhra very old articles like huge utensils and even a vintage car is kept in a small room rather garage, but none of them have proper maintenance. However, it is free for public analysis.
