The Singha Durbar (literally, Lion Palace) in Kathmandu is the official seat of government of Nepal.

Originally built by the Rana dynasty as the private residence ot the Prime Minister of Nepal, the Singha Durbar now houses both chambers of the Parliament of Nepal (the Pratinidhi Sabha, or House of Representatives, and the Rashtriya Sabha, or House of the States), as well as as ministries and government offices.

A substantial portion of the Singha Durbar was destroyed by fire in 1973; much of the damage has since been rebuilt.
