Rajmahal is a historical town, nestled between the towering Rajmahal hills and the mighty Ganges. Blessed with the bounty of nature, Rajmahal could be an intriguing place for those seeking respite from the hustle-bustle of big cities. The town, which became the capital of united Bengal in 1595, is dotted with medieval era monuments such as Sangi Dalan or Marvel Pavellion and Jami Masjid, a replica
of Delhi's Jama Masjid that was built when emperor Akbar came to see Bengal's governor Man Singh. At Rajmahal, you can wear the waters of Moti Jharna (waterfalls) on your feet and run downhill to jump into the lap of Ganga. The blue-eyed deity kisses past Rajmahal before it enters Bengal. Though there is a whole platter of history awaiting you at Rajmahal, I cannot restrain the urge to tell you the most intriguing one right away. Did you know that Bengal's Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula was captured in Udhwa Nala near Rajmahal while fleeing from the battle of Plaseey that changed the fate of India and eventually paved India's enslavement by the British. That Mir Zafar, the traitor who joined hands with the East India company to defeat Siraj, has been buried in Rajmahal. There is another major tourist attraction in Rajmahal that is Kathghar, which is home stone rice, pulse and so on. Come to Rajmahal to explore its rich history and enjoy nature's bounty.
