When we hear the word place, we imagine a lavish mansion with a huge front door, but there is a beautiful place in West Bengal and to enter it there’s not 1 but 1000 of doors!The Hazarduari place or ‘Boro Kothi’ in West Bengal is rich with our history as the library of the place houses many rare books and manuscripts. Located in Murshidabad, within an enclosure called the ‘Kila Nizamat’, the total area of Hazarduari Palace is 41 acres. Built in the Greek style with eight galleries and 114 rooms, it has a thousand doors in it, among which only 900 are real. Interesting? Isn’t it?
You can see the Bhagirathi River just behind the Hazrduari Palace. The grand flight of stairs attracts tourists and also the Imam Baraopposite Hazarduari.It’s literally heaven for architecture enthusiasts and history buff.
It was built during the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jahin in 1837 A.D. by famous architect McLeod Duncan. The palace has now transformed into a museum which features the collection from the Nawabs like weapons, oil paintings of Dutch, French and Italian artists, marble statues, metal objects, porcelain,and stucco statues. And if all these featureshaven’t intrigued your interest yet, in the museum there is an amazing mirror where you can’t see your own face but others can!
