Nadia Raj

The Nadia Raj family is descended from Bhattanarayan, a Brahmin who was selected by Raja Adisur of Bengal, for the conduct of ceremonies of purification. The Nadia Raj family is one of the oldest Hindu families in Bengal, spanning more than 35 generations from the founder. Since the establishment of British rule in Bengal each of the Rajas of Nadia were created a Maharaja Bahadur in succession.[1]
