}}{{Coord|27.4243|85.1910|display=title}}Seto Durbar (White Palace) was a Rana palace in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The palace complex, located south of the Narayanhity Palace, was incorporated in an impressive and vast array of courtyards, furnishings and guest halls. Seto Durbar was built by Bir Shumsher JBR in 1893 CE.[1]

History

Seto Durbar was built by Bir Shumsher JBR in 1893 CE in a land area of 375 ropani with Lal Durbar to its northeast as his private residence.[2]

In 1901 Gehendra Shamsher JBR, Bir Shumsher JBR's eldest son inherited this palace.In 1905 upon Gahenra's death his son Lila Shumsher inherited Seto Durbar.[1]

Grand State Hall

Seto durbar was famous for its Grand State Hall known as Thulo Baithak or Big hall. This Grand State Hall was famous for its Belgian wall mirrors; glass lamps from Murano and Bohemian chandeliers adorned the interiors while Italian marble tiled the floors.[3][4]

Destruction of the Seto Durbar

In 1934 a massive fire broke out at Seto Durbar engulfing the palace Building. Historian Purushottam Shamsher says in his book that Lila Shumsher begged the then Prime Minister Juddha Shumsher to use artillery cannon to cut off burning wing from the non-affected wing ignored confined the fire but, Juddha Shumsher declined his begging, giving the point that using artillery might damage Narayanhiti Palace, the Royal residence of King.[1] Today the only remains of Seto durbar is a building occupied by NIDC Development Bank Head Office in Durbar margaha.[4]

Legacy

Seto Durbar is considered by historians as one of the most beautiful and extravagant palace building in the history of Nepal.[1] Today most of the Hotel Annapurna stands on the grounds of Seto Durbar[3]
