Rajnagar was Maharaja Rameshwar Singh’s ambitious palace-town, built in the early twentieth century with the grand Naulakha Palace at its centre and temples scattered across some 1,500 acres. The 1934 earthquake wrecked the complex, and its carved ruins now stand half-claimed by vegetation — among the most evocative heritage sites in Mithila, and a cradle of the region’s modern artistic revival.
