About
त्वरित तथ्य: Step through a heavy wooden gate and you'll find rooms filled with gleaming marble statues, chandeliers that scatter light like confetti, and paintings hung salon-style on every wall. What you experience is a private collection assembled by Raja Rajendra Mullick, where European oils, Chinese porcelain and Victorian furniture mingle in a theatrical, museum-meets-house atmosphere.
मुख्य आकर्षण: Wandering the corridors you might catch the cool kiss of marble under your palm and the faint perfume of old wood and beeswax, sensations that make the collection feel lived-in rather than curated. Legend has it Raja Rajendra Mullick kept peacocks in the courtyard, and spotting their iridescent tails against a backdrop of white marble creates a tiny, surprising theater of color.
