Raj Bhavan used to be the Government House in the British Raj era. It was served as the summer residence of Governor Generals of India . The permanent residence of the Governor General was Government House in Calcutta. However, during the hot summer time, the Governor General shifted his residence to Darjeeling, along with the whole office.
