Maharashtra Niwas was conceptualized and established in 1934 as a Charitable Institution.

It was founded with the aim of providing comfortable accommodations to visitors from Maharashtra or Maharashtrians from different states. The facility also provided freshly prepared Maharashtrian style vegetarian meals. This was a big draw as people in those days, particularly vegetarians, may have found it difficult to adapt to the Bengali cuisine.

Members of Maharashtra Mandal, a socio-cultural organization put together a Boarding and lodging that provided fresh food and clean and affordable accommodations of standard comforts. The convenient location with all the major attractions within easy reach makes it a big draw. It is also very well connected by public transport.
