ABOUT MURSHIDABAD

 

MURSHIDABAD, the last capital city of independent Bengal was named after Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, the Dewan of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. It is situated on the banks of the Bhagirathi. The District Of Murshidabad has an area of 2143 sq. m. It is divided into two nearly equal portions by the Bhagirathi, the ancient channel of the Ganges. The tract to the west, known as the Rarh, consists of hard clay and nodular limestone.

The district derives its name from Murshidabad. Emperor Aurangzeb sent his Diwan Kartalab Khan at Murshidabad for collection of revenue during his regime. Emperor became very pleased with Kartalab Khan for his performance and named him as Murshid Kuli Khan. Murshid Kuli Khan shifted provincial revenue headquarter from Dacca to Murshidabad in 1704 A.D. Another school is of opinion that Muksudan Das, a follower of Nanak, founded this city during the regime of Hussain Saha (1493-1519 A.D.).

 

Since the time of Nawab Murshid Kuli Khan (1704-1725 A.D.) to last Nawab Mirjafar (1757 to 1760 A.D.) many beautiful sculptures, buildings of endearing nature have been built which attract the tourists even from abroad all the year around.

 

Murshidabad is truly an historical place, replete with historical & tourist spots. which attract tourist from both India and abroad. Some like the Hazarduari Palace, Nashipur Rajbari, Kathgola and Jahan Kosha Cannon are some of the must visit places. All of them have seen the rise and fall of the Nawabs. There are also some like Roshnibagh and Khoshbagh on the west bank of Bhagirathi River.
