Pathuriaghata was once the abode of the rich Bengali Business class. Some of the families belonged to the gold merchant community known as the ‘Subarna Banik’. These rich Bengali elites had beautiful mansions that showcased their grandeur. Their houses are reminiscent of glory and heritage, although mostly dilapidated now, stands tall even today, speaking of their enormous wealth and power. Here stands the beautiful mansion of the Mullick family at 67 Pathuriaghata Street. At the southern end of the courtyard stands the Singha Bahini Thakur Dalan with a huge Ornamented Silver Throne for the deity. From its ceiling hangs Belgium glass chandeliers adding to the grandeur. Even, the pillars in the Thakur Dalan is made of decorated cast iron. One interesting story narrated by Rajat Mullick is about the history of ‘Singha Bahini’ who is worshiped by their family. It is believed that Rajaram’s grandfather, Baidyanath Dey Mullick established this Goddess of Power in their house. The ‘Singha Bahini’ deity has a history of more than 1500 years. She was believed to be the home deity of Emperor Harshavardhana’s brother Rajyavardhana. Later during the 1500’s, the deity was established by Raja Man Singha in his palace. When Raja Man Singha’s sister was married to Emperor Akbar, it had hurt the religious sentiment of the Hindu priests. One of his priest ran away with the deity from the Mughal Empire to Chattagram (now in Bangladesh)
