Raghava Pandits home was in the town of Panihati. Panihati is on the eastern bank of the Ganges, one mile from the Sodhpur station on the Eastern Railway line out of Sealdah. Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami has written that Mahaprabhu remained permanently in the house of Raghava Pandit.

The Lords manifestations took place in the home of Sachi, during Nityanandas dancing, in Srivasas kirtan, and in the house of Raghava Pandit. It is the Lords nature to be attracted by his devotees love.
(Chaitanya Charitamrita 3.2.34-5)

Vrindavan Das Thakurs biography of the Lord indicates clearly how dear Raghava Pandit was to Mahaprabhu. When he saw the lord of his life coming toward his home in Panihati from Srivasas house in Kumarahatta, Raghava Pandit fell down at his feet, overcome by love.
Raghavera Jhali
Makaradhvaja Kara, a kayastha who also lived in Panihati, was Raghava Pandits initiated disciple. It was he who annually carried the bags of food that his spiritual master prepared for the Lord in Puri.  Raghavera jhali or Raghavas bags were a filled with various preparations that his sister Damayanti made throughout the year for Mahaprabhu. 
Cidha-dadhi Mahotsava
Later, Nityananda ordered Raghunatha Das Goswami to put on a feast of chipped rice and yogurt for his entourage. Raghava Pandit came there also with various foods that had not been contaminated by the touch of cooked rice. He thus witnessed Nityanandas lila of picnicking by the riverbank in great astonishment. After resting the afternoon by the Ganges, Nityananda went and spent the evening at Raghava Pandits house in kirtan and dance.

When the Lord of Vaikuntha saw Raghava Pandits devotion, he blessed him with a look of favor. The Lord said, I have come to Raghavas house and forgotten all my distress simply by seeing him. I feel the same pleasure by coming here as I do when I take a refreshing bath in the Ganges.
(Chaitanya Bhagavat 3.5.81-3)
