Mallarpur ("মল্লারপুর") is a village in Mayureswar I CD Block in Rampurhat subdivision of Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The name Mollarpur had come from Malla kings. Probably, it has some connection with the great Malla king Veer Hambir.
As one drives to Mallarpur, off the now busy highway, one will see a grand old ruin dominating the landscape for miles around. This is the Kacheri Baari or the Court House. Built in the late 18th century, this building must have been stunning in its heydays. As one enters through a once grand, but now rusted, metal gate, one comes into the front lawn, about 50 yards long. At the end of it, like a giant spider, sits the Kacheri Baari, a haunted house.
