So just after wrapping our tour across the Ancient Citadels of Gour and Pandua in Maldah, we decided to complete the chapter, with a journey throughout the ages of the ‘Nawabi’ times to Murshidabad. The city, famous for its Silk crafts and architectural splendors, served as the Capital of Bengal from 1717 AD onwards, before the last and the most famed Nawabs – Siraj-Ud-Dullah lost in the historic battle fields of Plassey to the traitor-ship of Mir Jaffar and the British infantry of Robert Clive in the year - 1757.
