The office house of Debidas Basu Thakur was known as ‘Seghora’. The structure and the architecture of the house were inspired completely by contemporary Bangladeshi design. It was thought that in the fifteenth century a two tier building was built on the resting place of Sultan Fatesha of Gaur.

Seghora is a permanent house which runs from North to South in a linear way. The architecture of the house was completely Bangladeshi. The roof of every room is bent like a thatched hut. They mixed with each other to form a wavy pattern which covers the whole house. Every room has a door which leads outside. The northern room door was on the Northern side. The doors of other two rooms were on the Western side. Around ninety years ago three brick tablets broke and fell down from the roof above the doors. These brick tablets had Farsi-Bengali scriptures inscribed in it. The tablets recorded the name and introduction of the maker of the house. One of the tablets among the three completely broke and was undecipherable. The other two was gifted by Sri Rajani Basu Thakur to the Dhaka Museum for record keeping and conservation. These tablets can still be found in the museum. The photo of these tablets is kept with all the members of the Basu house.

What is known from the tablet is that during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb, Nawab Amir-ul Omrah Sayastha Khan and the Dewan of the emperor, Haji Safikha employs Sri Gobindo Choranashrito Debidas Basu as Kanungo and Ihtiham of Naoara Mahal and Nabi Khasanbis from Bengali year 1087 Chaitra or 1680 AD in the month of March-April and built this house. But the mention of Nabi Khasanbis title cannot be found in the history books. Haji Safikha was the temporary Nawab of Bengal between 1678’s, 25th May and 30th June. Maybe that was the time when Sri Debidas Basu constructed those brick tablets to build that house.

Many historians mentioned the name of ‘Seghora’ as Sri Debidas Basu’s office house. In Farsi ‘Seho’ means three. Because of linguistic reasons the word ‘She’ becomes ‘Se’ and ‘Ghor’ was added to make the name ‘Seghora’. The word means is that it is a house with three rooms. The word is the mixture of Bengali-Farsi language.
