Rajbari is the royal palace of erstwhile king of Bijni.[1] The Rajbari palace was the third capital of Bijni kingdom.
The first capital of Bijni Kingdom was at modem Bijni town (1671 to 1864 ) and thereafter shifted to Dumuria (now known as Dalan Bhanga) due to attack by Jhawlia Mech – a local chief under Bhutan Kingdom. The dreaded earthquake that occurred at 5 pm, on 12 June 1897 severely damaged the royal palaces of Dumuriya necessitating the shifting of the capital temporarily to Jogighopa and thereafter permanently shifted to Deohati forest area now known as Abhayapuri named after Rani Abhayeswari in 1901, which continued up to 1956 when Government of India took over this Kingdom.[2]
