Contribute Feedback What Rachita M likes about Nizamat Imambara:
Standing with pride just opposite the hazarduary palace it is a mesmerizing architecture. It is open for public only during Muharram so whoever planning to visit this imambara, opt for this time. Rest of the time, it remains close. View all feedback.
It is frequently stated as the largest Imambara of the world. Located just opposite to Hazarduari palace this is a huge piece of art.
The Nizamat Imambara is a Shia Muslim congregation hall (imambara) in Murshidabad, India. It was built in 1740 AD by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah and rebuilt in 1847 by Nawab Mansur Ali Khan after it was destroyed by the fires of 1842 and 1846. It is frequently mentioned as the largest imambara in the world. Nizamat Imambara, the biggest Imambara in India and Bengal is situated just opposite of the Hazarduari Palace and hardly a few feet away from the Bhagirathi River. The closest junction to Imambara is Murshidabad Railway Station, which is well connected to Howrah and Sealdah. There are regular trains available to get to Murshidabad. Imambara is well-connected to major places within the state or neighboring states via road network like Kolkata, Burdwan, Rampurhat, Suri, Bolpur, Malda, Krishnagar and Durgapur. West Bengal State Road Transport Corporation (WBSRTC) and some private travel services connects Imambara with various parts of the state of West Bengal, and cities of nearby states. Must visit this place.
This is a largest imambara I had ever seen. This is so beautiful place.
It was a mosque during the nawab period. But now entry is closed. It only opens in the month of Muharram for 10 days.
A beautiful place. This Historical Landmark is a must visit for anyone visiting Murdidabad. It takes thru the history of Mursidabad,.built in 1740.
