Uttar Banga Marwari Palace
Introduction: A Hidden Gem in Siliguri
Tucked away in the bustling heart of Sevoke Road, the Uttar Banga Marwari Palace (also known as Uttar Banga Marwari Seva Trust) stands as a majestic venue that blends traditional charm with modern amenities. Since its inception in 2017, this palace-like banquet space has become the go-to destination for upscale events in Siliguri, offering versatility, convenience, and elegance to locals and visitors alike.
Architectural Aesthetic & Layout
The palace features a striking façade that mimics regal architecture, drawing immediate attention from passersby . Inside, the expansive Uttar Banga Hall spans approximately 4,000 sq ft, offering multiple layout configurations. It comfortably seats 200 guests for a sit-down event or accommodates up to 300+ for cocktail-style or floating arrangements. The venue also includes a spacious lawn and up to three additional banquet halls—Hall 1, Hall 2, and Hall 3—each catering to 300–450 guests, ideal for simultaneous occasions like Mehndi, reception, or sangeet.

Outdoor caterers are welcome, giving hosts the freedom to serve diverse cuisines—though non-veg is traditionally restricted in main halls, a nod to cultural preferences.
