In fact, this deuri is the entrance to a government palace built in Nimtali, Dhaka during the late Mughal period.

After East Bengal came under Mughal control in 1610, Dhaka became the capital of the Mughal Suba. The capital Dhaka continued to expand for more than a century. This streak ended around 1715. A little history can be looked at here. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb or King Alamgir was the last powerful Mughal emperor. Later emperors were of weak nature. During their weak rule, the Mughal Empire gradually declined. During the rule of Aurangzeb, Murshid Quli Khan was appointed as Subedar in Dhaka, the capital of Suba Bengal. After the death of this skilled Subedar Aurangzeb, the capital of Bengal was moved from Dhaka by Karna Suvarna of West Bengal. From his name the new name of this region was Murshidabad. From this time he gave the administrative office of Dhaka to an assistant subedar. His title was Naib e Nazim. It was at this time that the capital of Suba Bengal was moved from Dhaka to Murshidabad. Dhaka then survived as an administrative center under a Naib A Nazim. In 1766 Nimtali Palace was built for Naib-e-Nazim. Nimtali is the left hand road along Nazimuddin Road from present Chankhanarpul. A palace was built here. Locals call it Nawab Katrao. Deuri was built as the entrance to this palace. It was a beautiful arch. Even without the glamor of the construction period, it still captivates the audience. The tower has three floors. The three-storey open gallery was called Nahvatkhana. From here, the arrival of the Naib-e-Nazim was announced by playing music. There is a background of Nimtali Palace and Deuri construction. The Naib Nazims posted in Dhaka used Dhaka Fort or Bara Katra as their residence since before the Palashi War. After the Battle of Palashi, English army officer Lt. Sweetnot attacked Dhaka to suppress the Nawab's loyalists. Naib Nazim of Dhaka Jasrat Khan was not in Dhaka at that time. Was in Bihar. But he was loyal to the British. Jasrat Khan was imprisoned there by Nawab Mir Qasim who declared independence against the British. Lt. Sweetnut came to Dhaka and settled in Dhaka Fort. After Lord Clive passed the rulership of Bengal, he freed Jasrat Khan and re-appointed him as Naib Nazim of Dhaka in 1765. After Jasrat Khan returned to Dhaka, he temporarily lived in Bara Katra.
