কাশিমবাজার ছোট রাজবাড়ি ও বড়রাজবাড়ির ইতিহাস (মুর্শিদাবাদ)|| History Of Cossimbazar Choto Rajbari.

The Cossimbazar Rajbari was built when Murshidabad was the capital of the nawabs of Bengal and the town was a flourishing port. A few of the rooms have been converted into guest rooms and some have been made into a kind of walk-through museum with everything, from antique furniture to animal trophies. Check out the Central Ballroom with its paintings, chandeliers, mirrors and Victorian-era furniture and a hall with five huge arches (it used to be the court room). The bedroom has an old four-poster bed and one of those old-fashioned dressing tables. Check out the hand-pulled fan which had to be manually operated with a rope by someone designated as the ‘punkah-puller’.

The other rajbari in Cossimbazar was the home of the Nandi family, but unlike its smaller counterpart, it is in a rundown state. The history of the Nandi family can be traced back to the time of the conflict between Warren Hastings and Siraj ud-Daulah. Krishna Kanta Nandi (popularly known as Kanta Mudi) provided shelter to Hastings when he was chased by ud-Daulah’s men. After the victory in Battle of Plassey, Hasting returned the favour by appointing Krishna Kanta Nandi as his commercial agent. The sprawling Nandi rajbari is said to have interiors decorated with pillars and arches taken from Maharaja Chait Singh’s palace in Varanasi. Unfortunately, one can only view the mansion from outside since it is locked at all times.
