Murshidabad
Can you imagine that a small settlement in Bengal by the side of the Bhagirathi River was once as prosperous and thriving as London? It was not Calcutta, but Murshidabad that was said to be as flourishing as London. For all those planning a trip here, Hazarduari in Murshidabad is the most iconic attraction. But Murshidabad is much more than Hazarduari. It was the last seat of power of the Nawab of Bengal Province before the British took over in India. Murshidabad plays an important part in Indian modern history. No doubt the place has some important heritage structures in and around. So we decided to chalk out a Murshidabad tour guide to help all those who want to visit this erstwhile power centre of Bengal.
Murshidabad was not only a stronghold of power politically, but was also the center of commerce, trade, and administration in eighteenth-century India. So much so that it was said that the Murshidabad region along with the twin towns of Jiaganj and Azimganj accounted for almost 5% of the world GDP. And that is no mean feat. Just imagine, how prosperous the town was during that time.
The Hazarduari Palace
The palace with a thousand doors is the chief tourist attraction of Murshidabad. Built-in 1837 by Duncan McLeod for the Nawab Najim Humayun Jah, a descendant of Mir Zafar, it has a thousand doors (only 900 are real) and 114 rooms, and 8 galleries. It is now a museum and has an exquisite collection of armor, splendid paintings, exhaustive portraits of the Nawabs, beautiful works of ivory from China and many other valuable works of arJ
