Holidays are meant to be spent outside the house. It is a few days rest from the daily routine of our life. So to spent our christmas holidays we went to visit the royal capital city of West Bengal during the Mughal era, that is, Murshidabad. It was a tour full of magnificient palaces, splendid gardens and beautifull tombs. Let us go a picture tour of Murshidabad!!!
The last Nawab of undivided Bengal, Bihar & Orissa, Nawab Siraj - Ud - Doullah stayed at Murshidabad and ruled his kingdom from here. The fierce war had been taken place between Nawab Siraj - Ud - Doullah and East India Company , at Plassey, where Nawab lost the battle on 23rd day of June 1757, due to betrayal of Mirjaffar and local businessmen, namely Umi Chand, Jagat Seth, Rai Durlav,etc. and inhuman, illegal tricks of East India Company. From here British Empire ruled India for next 200 years.
