MURSHIDABAD TOURISM

Located on the banks of the Bhagirathi river, Murshidabad was the last capital city of independent Bengal and is known for its Mughal and British colonial history. Among several historical structures built during the Mughal and British rules is the Hazarduari palace. Built by Duncan McLeod, it is now a museum showcasing armory, paintings and portraits of Nawabs and is one of the prime attractions of the city.

Famous for its silk textiles, the Murshidabad silk saris made from ivory and sholapith are light, vibrant and a must-buy. The annual festival, Bera Utsav, celebrated on the last Thursday of the Bengali month of Bhadra (mid-September), is conducted on the banks of the Bhagirathi river near the palaces of the Nawabs. The town is named after Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, the Dewan of Bengal, Odisha and Bihar, who in 1704 transferred his administration from Dhaka to Maksudabad and renamed the city after himself.
