Hazarduari Palace, earlier known as the Bara Kothi,[1] is located in the campus of Kila Nizamat in Murshidabad, in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is situated near the bank of river Ganges. It was built by Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah in the nineteenth century. He was the Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838).
In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India for better preservation.[2][3]
According to the Archaeological Survey of India as mentioned in the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal, the Hazarduari Palace and Imambara are ASI Listed Monuments.[4]
