★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hazarduari Palace, earlier known as the Bara Kothi, 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 Ganga. It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838).
The name of the palace that is Hazarduari means "a palace with a thousand doors". Hazar means "thousand" and Duari means "the one with doors"; thus, the total sums up to "the one with a thousand doors".
The palace earlier known as Bara Kothi has been named so as the palace has in all 1000 doors, of which 100 are false.
The foundation stone of the palace was laid on 9 August 1829, and that very day the construction work was started. William Cavendish was the then Governor-General. Now, Hazarduari Palace is the most conspicuous building in Murshidabad.
It has also become a tourist attraction all over India.
In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India for better preservation.
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 A.S.I Listed Monuments.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well maintained place of historical interest. The museum holds the history. The cannon , which blasted and killed Mirmadan is kept here. Photography prohibited. Take time if you are interested in history. The outside courtyard holds madina masjid, ghari ghar, bachchawali top and imambara, which is closed for tourists.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great way to experience Bengal's history. You must visit this place with lots of time so that you can experience everything. While walking through the halls, all I could think about is the people that walked here hundreds of years ago, who built this place. Hands down one of the best historical places to visit in murshidaabad as well as in India!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The palace was built to serve the dual purpose of the court of Nawab working at the behest of the East India Company (after the fall of Siraj-uddaulah in the battle of plassey) and, as office/guest house of the top officials of the East India Company. Its now a museum maintained by ASI. My sincere advice is to visit this place if you have 3 to 4 hours time in hand and you are a lover of history and art...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a museum open to public with an entry fee of nominal amount. Its a great picnic spot for family. If you get there by train the nearest station would be jiagung station. From there you can avail the local transport. Guides are available in English Hindi and Bengali. The museum has great historical evidences stored beautifully each having a different story. This is a silent zone and you will not be allowed to use mobile phones. It will take approximately 45 mins to roam around the entire place.
