Visit to a Historical Place
Last month some of my friends and I visited Murshidabad, the capital of Bengal during the Nawab rule. On December 2, at about 12 a.m., we started for Murshidabad. The very next morning we reached Murshidabad. After taking some rest, we started visiting places of historical interest – First, we visited the Khosbag where Alibardi and Sirajudaullah lie in eternal sleep. From the Khosbag we went to Motijhil and saw the remains of the buildings of Ghoseti Begum. Next, we saw the Hajarduari, a majestic palace containing one thousand doors. It is at the same time an art gallery, museum, library, and armoury. We saw there many famous pictures, the courtroom of the Nawabs, mummies of many birds, and many precious manuscripts in Persian. At last, we visited the mosque of Katra. The visit to Murshidabad left a sad impression on my mind. It opened my eyes to the mutability of earthly things.
