Tarash Bhaban is located at Golappur in the Pabna district of Bangladesh. A special archeological site located on Hamid Road. A unique immortal masterpiece of aesthetic beauty and architecture of Pabna city, this building is also known to many as Rajbari of Tarash. Banamali Roy Bahadur Tarash Bhaban, the largest zamindar of Pabna, erected the building in the 1800s.
However, the ancestors of Banamali Roy did not live in Pabna at first. It was built by Banamali Roy for the leisure time of his zamindari. A few years after the establishment of Tarash Bhaban, zamindars Banamali Roy and Banwarilal Roy established Banamali Institute, Town Hall, Jagannath Deva Temple, etc. next to Tarash Bhaban.

In the late 19th century, Tarash Bhavan was declared an archeological site, and the site is now under the care of the Department of Archeology (now Pabna Municipality). There was a Kayastha zamindar named Basudev in the village of ‘Kodla’ near Chandaikona in Bogra district who was the ancestor of the Tarash dynasty.
Zamindar Basudev worked in the revenue department of Nawab Murshid Quli Khan. Nawab Murshid Quli Khan was impressed by his honesty and virtue and gave him the title of ‘Roy Chowdhury’ and thus the zamindari of the Tarash zamindar dynasty was formed. It is said that when the Second World War broke out in 1942, the zamindar family stayed in Tarash Bhaban for a long time.
