Murshidabad was the erstwhile capital of the Bengal Subah – the wealthiest province of the Mughal era.

Today this historic city is lost in the crammed modern outgrowth, what remains is the silent testimonial of its predecessor’s glory and misdeed. I share a story of this city built by the Nawabs of Bengal.
