Cabins at Babar Mahal

Every seat in the hall is a private cabin like this one.

An empty Shanvi study cabin: white side walls, a lamp strip above a wide desk, a wall socket and a black mesh chair.
Its own lamp
A warm LED strip above the desk, so your page is evenly lit at 5 AM and at 9 PM.
A power socket
Charge a laptop or phone without leaving your seat.
Full-height side walls
No one in your line of sight, so your attention stays on the page.
A wide desk
Room for a textbook, notes and a laptop side by side.
A mesh-back chair
Supports long sittings without getting hot.

Cafeteria

Meals and snacks in the building, so a full study day needs no trip outside.

Students and walk-in visitors can order. Pay at the counter.
