Dalmia Bhawan, a mansion situated in Varanasi, was built between 1835 and 1845 by the Goswami family of Serampore a former Danish colony in West Bengal. [1]
The house [2] was built in the early 20th century by Raja Kishorilal Goswami of Serampore in Bengal (now West Bengal). In 1960, the property [3] was acquired by the Laxmi Niwas Dalmia. [4] [5]
The architecture style is a blend of Indo-Saracenic and Neoclassical elements. The building with its symmetrical look and rooms opening to wide verandas is reminiscent of the ‘garden houses’, a popular concept in the 19th and early 20th century. In India, structures tied to the Danish East India Company are exceedingly rare. Dalmia Bhawan [6] has a Dutch influence showcasing, a clear link to the Danish East India Company. [7]
