Шаблон:Infobox historic building Bhajahari Lodge is a protected early 20th century mansion in Tipu Sultan Road, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

It was built by Bhajahari Saha Banik around 1925. Although it was primarily a residence, Bhajahari and his brother Lal Mohan Saha founded a theatre company, and dramas were often performed there.[1][2]

Bhajahari Lodge is a blend of Indian and Gothic architecture. The principal facade is two storeys high, Шаблон:Convert long, and symmetrical. The main entrance is through a trefoil arch in the middle. On the second floor are three oriel windows, the two on either side capped with half domes. The oriel window above the main entrance has a conical top, and a gabled roof rises above. An incompatible western block was added later. The forecourt had an ornamental fountain that has been lost.[1]

The lodge is on the Department of Archaeology's list of protected monuments.[3][4] However its users, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College and Graduates High School, want it demolished.[1]
