Charburja Durbar was built by Jung Bahadur Rana for Rani Jind Kaur youngest Queen of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Sikh Empire. Rani Jind Kaur escaped British imprisonment from the Chunar Fort, disguised as a servant and travelled through 800 miles of forest and reached Kathmandu on 29 April 1849 where she was given asylum by Maharaja of Nepal and Jung Bahadur Rana with full dignity as a Queen consort of Maharaja Ranjit Singh .
A New palace was built for Rani Jind Kaura in Thapathali durbar complex with four Burg and thus was immediately naming it Charburja Durbar which literally translates as palace with Four Burgs.[1] Charburja Durbar was occupied by her through her stay in Nepal for 11 years and was eventually given as alms to a Brahmin priest before her departure to England. Due to the palaces strategical location in Thapathali Durbar complex , Jung Bahadur bought this palace back from the Brahmin priest who got it as alms and started using it as a Court House.
