Located in Khandwa's Bombay bazaar, Kishore Kumar was born in this house on October 4, 1929. Kumar spent his early childhood in this house and every year on August 4, a large number of his fans gather at this house and celebrate his birthday.

In the Municipal corporation records this house is registered in the name of Kalyan Kumar Kunji Lal Ganguly and Kishore Kumar's son Amit Kumar.
