Description
English: Kunjabati Premises at Khardaha in North 24 Pargana district, West Bengal.

The Kunjabati is situated at Khardah under Barrackpore sub-division of North 24 Parganas district. At the order of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Sri Nityananda Mahaprabhu selected Kunjabati for 'Harinam Sankirtan' at Khardah - the pilgrimage for Vaishnavites. Sri Purandar Pandit used to pray here. He donated 26 bighas of land to Nityananda Mahaprabhu for residential and preaching of Vaishnava ideology. From this time the descendants of Nityananda Mahaprabhu are following the practice for 500 years.

On the Eastern side of Kunjabati, there is an idol of Sri Nityananda Mahaprabhu and the burial ground of his wives Basudha and Jahnabi at the courtyard of the house. Birbhadra and Gangamani - the children of Sri Sri Nityananda Mahaprabhu, were born in this house. Every year, in the Bengali month of Magha, a Naamjagya is performed on the occassion of the birth anniversary of Sri Nityananda Mahaprabhu.

There is a plaque near the entrance of the house that states that the Kunjabati was re-constructed in 1942 by A. Bite and J. Scott - a company of Khardah.

The West Bengal Heritage Commission declared it as heritage in 2018.
