[1][2] In early 2023, DAG (formerly, the Delhi Art Gallery) acquired Roy's residence – a 75 year old structure located in Ballygunge, Kolkata.
Additionally, it will function as a landmark for artists and tourists from across India and the world, helping to preserve Jamini Roy's work and legacy.
In 1949, Jamini Roy had shifted from his erstwhile house at Baghbazar to the new residence in Ballygunge, which was designed and conceived by himself and his son Amiya.
The house had seen visitors like Rabindranath Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, Indira Gandhi along with Rajiv and Sanjay Gandhi, former chief ministers of West Bengal Siddhartha Shankar Roy, Jyoti Basu, and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, and other illustrious dignitaries from across the world.
On that day, several visitors including neighbours, and guests, came to the house and were served a special sherbet, sweets and shingara.
