It is located at Ravi Bhawan at Jaistambh Chowk.

Initially, it was built as an entrance passage to the city by collective funding of Rs. 4,800 by the then rich and honourable people of Raipur.

Ravi Bhawan, the commercial complex, has engulfed the Darwaza, and two chhatris in the west have been merged with the building. The cupola over the northeast chhatri has been destroyed completely. The roof is used as a dumping ground by shop owners and construction workers. Posters pasted on the walls also deteriorate the aesthetic appeal..

Palace, Durga Dalan & Panch Ratna Temple of Majis Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal

The palace of the Maji family was constructed around 1864-1905 CE and located in Kharar, Ghatal I Block. The complex comprises of the residential quarter, temples and dalan for Durga Puja. These are significant for their high artistic quality such as intricate details in stucco work, wooden doors, high Pancha Ratna temple and a group of other temples. Even minimum maintenance is beyond the capacity of the present members of the erstwhile landlord family; however, the owners keep the structures in use and take care of everyday rituals of worship in the temples. The buildings are in a state of deterioration and the residential part has partially collapsed. The ornamentation and stucco work of the temples are almost intact. But uncertainty and the fear of collapse are constant risks.
