This is a museum open to public with an entry fee of nominal amount. If you need Guides there are available in English Hindi and Bengali. The museum has great historical evidences stored beautifully each having a different story. This is a silent zone and you will not be allowed to use mobile phones. There are many old artifacts that have been restored and set in the museum. The place gets crowded if it's a holiday. Overall it is one's desire to visit this place.

It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838). In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India for better preservation. The name of the palace that is Hazarduari means "a palace with a thousand doors". Hazar means "thousand" and Duari means "the one with doors"; thus, the total sums up to "the one with a thousand doors", of which 100 are false. They were built so that if any predator tried to do something wrong and escape, he would be confused between the false and real doors, and by that time he would be caught by the Nawab's guards. The palace has now been transformed into a museum which houses collections from the Nawabs like priceless paintings, furniture, antiques and so on. The Museum holds the history. Bachchawali Top, the canon which blasted and killed Mirmadan are kept here. Photography prohibited. Take time if you are interested in history. The outside courtyard holds madina masjid, ghari ghar and imambara, which is closed for tourists. Time: 9 AM -5 PM (Except Friday) Entry Fee: 20/-

It's a heritage building that should be promoted more so that more tourists from outside West Bengal come to visit this beautiful palace. ASI is doing fine in maintaining the Hajarduari Palace unlike some other structures and monuments nearby. The museum is well maintained and the gardens are too. If only the vicinity were a bit cleaner, it would be wonderful. The white imambara facing the palace compliments it's golden hue. It's a beautiful experience visiting the palace.

Hazarduari Palace, a three-storey palace , which was built by Duncan Macleod in European architectural style in 1837 for the Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah, descendent of Mir Zafar and was used for holding meetings as well as for accommodation of high British officials, is now a museum and holds collection of armoury, paintings, portraits of the Nawab, Siraj-ud-Doula sword an many others rare items. It has 1000 doors, 114 rooms and eight galleries. It is an ASI Listed monument. It is also one of the main attractions of Murshidabad among tourists.

The place is very beautiful and picture worthy. It's also very clean. There is so much greenery and we went during the afternoon on a friday, it wasn't crowded and was very relaxing to sit on the park bench. I really liked the clock tower, looks so elegant. It's a good place to visit.

One of the most beautiful palace of West Bengal. Elegant and grand architecture with lots of historical objects.

Historical place. You can learn & enjoy a lot. Very well decorated and maintained. Everyone should go and visit atleast once. You can collect tickets 🎟️ from respective ticket counter. Students of school not needed to buy any tickets.

The Hazar duari palace is the main attraction of Murshidabad. The palace is build by Asaf Jha when the Bengal was under the British paramountcy. The building is european style. There is a very good collection of historic articles inside the museum. One with interest in history will find this as tresure. There are gardens maintained alongside which are good to roam around in the afternoon. There is another building nearby - Imambara though it remains closed all year round. There are handicraft & food shops on the backside. One can have food and do shopping. Over All it's a must visit site in Murshidabad & west Bengal in general.

Well maintained palace cum museum. Must suggest to take a guide along with u. Mostly people avoid having guides but I ll suggest if u visiting such museum u should take a guide which is very reasonable. They explain everything very nicely. U can save ur time and enjoy every aspect and stories behind.

In terms of history this palace is not that much significant, because in India there is lot of sight which is way much older, still I loved this place because it's a very good museum of the nawabs of Murshidabad. As a Bengali person we can easily relate us with the things and articraft collected here because it's the history of our Bengal also. The age old oil paintings , the weapons that used by nawabs and the throne ,the furniture and dinning materials used by nawabs will make you wonder. As the founder of this place nawab humayun ja is mainly got priorities here. But there is many more artifacts and collection kept here which describe the seventeen century of Bengal.

This is a Historical place in Murshidabad, West Bengal, India. Hazarduari is a place of 18th century made by Nazim Humayun Jah , a Muslim Bengal Nawab. Now it is a museum. It stores many weapons, Pictures , books and the things used by the Nawab's family. The name Hazarduari came from bengali word Duar means Door. It is believed that the palace consists 1000 doors!! That's why the name is Hazarduari, a palace of 1000 doors. Many Historical places are there around this palace like House of Jagathseth, Katra Masjid, taksaal, Imambara, Matijhil etc. Overall it is a good historical place.

The palace is really very Beautiful. The only issue is with the huge line in the entrance but the security guards are doing amazing job to make sure people are getting inside the palace as quickly as possible. The interiors and the history of Hazarduari is absolutely brilliant. The entry fee is Rs. 20 only which can booked online (to avoid another line for tickets). Hazarduari is closed on Friday's and hence plan accordingly. It will take at least 2hrs to see the entire Palace from inside.

One of the best place to visit in West Bengal. It is palace and musium. Greatly built, great architecture Nice environment and there are guides who tell you about all the history of this palace and and nominal cost

It was a peaceful experience in the early morning when the crowd barely visits there. You can roam the gardens and get good clicks in the winter sun which is actually the best time to visit. Then take a government guide who charges almost nothing and hear the history of the palace before entering the museum inside. Taking pictures inside is not allowed and you can't use your phone inside as well. It's similar to most palace museums of the country with tons of paraphernalia and pictures of lost grandeur.

Historical place to visit. Closes at 5.30 PM strictly. You need to switch off your mobile when visiting Hazarduari palace. Avoid weekend visit coz it was very crowded. Wheelchair accessible: No Washroom: yes Ticket Price: 25/-

This is a museum open to public with an entry fee of nominal amount. Its a great picnic spot for family. If you get there by train the nearest station would be jiagung station. From there you can avail the local transport. Guides are available in English Hindi and Bengali. The museum has great historical evidences stored beautifully each having a different story. This is a silent zone and you will not be allowed to use mobile phones. It will take approximately 45 mins to roam around the entire place.

The palace was built to serve the dual purpose of the court of Nawab working at the behest of the East India Company (after the fall of Siraj-uddaulah in the battle of plassey) and, as office/guest house of the top officials of the East India Company. Its now a museum maintained by ASI. My sincere advice is to visit this place if you have 3 to 4 hours time in hand and you are a lover of history and art...

A great way to experience Bengal's history. You must visit this place with lots of time so that you can experience everything. While walking through the halls, all I could think about is the people that walked here hundreds of years ago, who built this place. Hands down one of the best historical places to visit in murshidaabad as well as in India!

Looks more majestic at night when lit up. I was lucky to be here during Muharram. The place is a museum with lots of old paintings and rare old weapons. Specially amazed by the unique mirror where your face can't be seen but you can see others and rest of your body. But no photography allowed.

Well maintained palace and the main attraction of Murshidabad. You should obviously visit and hire a guide to know the actual history of this palace. Without guide visiting any historical monument is useless. On the weekends and public holidays rush is very high, so if you want to see everything peacefully visit on weekdays. Hotels around this palace are of mediocre quality. Clean toilet and drinking water is available inside the campus. You can book tickets through the online portal or in the booking counter. Guide was very knowledgeable and polite in behaviour. I visited during Christmas holidays and you can see the rush in the photos and videos attached

This place is not only magnificently built but also it's area is vast. By paying a nominal of 30 rupees you can not only visit this place hut also you can visit their museum for free with just one ticket. A 3storey building with a lot of artefacts, paintings, flower vases and relics dating back to when the Britishers lived here or even before that. You will mainly find works of highly skilled artisans on ivory, porcelain, oil and paper, and also on wood. You will also get to see a canon and other heritages once you exit from the museum and move to the front side of the palace. For anyone visiting Murshidabad, this place is a must visit. First visit this place then move on to the other places. The guards here are very friendly and cooperative and will never misdirect to any place. You also get bike parking just beside the entrance.

Beautiful place to see wonderful oil paintings of many British officials and nawabs of murshidabad. Also, we get to see various things like thrones and sculptures made out of silver, ivory, and other precious things. Guide is a must though they don't get inside with you.

Iconic place of Murshidabad people must visit and know about history of Bengal before Independence under control of British

Important tip: don't pay at the ticket counter, there's an archeological sites of India qr code right in front of the ticket house. Scan and pay. They take less money and you get a PDF of the ticket instantly. No id proof needed. This is a stunning museum. Would take you nearly 2 hours to visit if you're a history buff. The imambara stays open only before Muharram. No need to take guides as the artefacts are well documented.

Historical, pleasant and so much educational. The palace should be visited by historical enthusiasts. There is so much to learn about art and culture of Bengal here. You can have tickets for the palace online. Ask guides for their valid government ID and you are good to go. Please take a guide because it's a very spread place and a local guide can show you all the places in no time. Have a nice trip!

It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838). The name of the palace that is Hazarduari means "a palace with a thousand doors". Hazar means "thousand" and Duari means "the one with doors"; thus, the total sums up to "the one with a thousand doors".

Greatest place in India. People here are very nice and friendly. A lot of mysterious history is hidden here, which cannot be found even by reading books. really great

A magnificent place with a rich historical background. The museum has a great collection of artefacts from the golden era of Bengal. A must visit place in West Bengal.

"Immersed in breathtaking landscapes, this place captivates with its tranquility. Serene vistas, vibrant flora, and a welcoming ambiance make it an idyllic retreat for rejuvenation and peace-seekers."

The Nizamat Imambara, located adjacent to the palace, complements the experience, adding a touch of spiritual significance and architectural beauty to the visit. The sprawling palace grounds, adorned with well-maintained gardens and pathways, offer a serene ambiance for leisurely strolls. However, to enhance the visitor experience, the addition of guided tours or informational signage providing historical context would be beneficial.

Its rich heritage, coupled with the meticulous preservation of artifacts, makes it a jewel in West Bengal's cultural crown, inviting visitors to embark on a captivating journey through time.

The name of the palace, Hazarduari means Thousand Doors. Here HAZAR means Thousand & DUARI means Door. So we may call this palace as the palace with thousand doors. Although among these 1000 doors, 100 doors are false. They were built so that if any robber, thief or goon tries to enter the palace to steal something or attack and escape, he would be confused between the false and real doors and by the time he would be caught by the Nawab's guards. The palace has now been transformed into a museum which houses collections from the Nawabs like priceless paintings, furniture, antiques and so on. In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India ( ASI) for better preservation.

The Hazarduari Palace is a grandeur and magnificent palace located at Hazarduari in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal.

Inside the palace, many vintage artefacts along with canvas paintings and profuse other old aged materials and items are preserved and kept, which are absolutely breathtaking to see. It's a kind of museum at present which has its own essence of enticing and exhilarating the tourists. It has become a major tourist spot in India. It also envelopes itself in deep rich history and culture as well. Moreover the surrounding ambience and the grandiose monumental building truly astonishes one on visiting and provides a sweet reminiscence upon leaving. Thank you.

Historical museum

It’s a nice historical place to visit.

Hazarduari Palace is one of the most historical place in west bengal. There is so many things to see, so many stories to know about 'Nawabi Empire'.

One of the best palaces of bengal... It consists of 1000 doors out of which 100 are false ... Many great architectures are conserved here... And they are maintained beautifully.... Absolutely beautiful place... Everyone should come and watch this beautiful place once in a life time...... You can reach here via train by reaching Murshidabad station...

Very nice. It's a great experience..

A great place to go back in time. Also an ideal place to chat with others while enjoying the park 's natural beauty.

A well maintained world heritage site. The garden in front of it is a very beautiful place for kids to play. I do not recommend taking a guide as every guide has their own version and most importantly guides are not allowed inside the palace. They will narrate everything outside and then you have to visit the palace all by yourself.

Nice place. We visited on a Sunday in January. That's why it was crowded. But you will enjoy the view of this historical place. There is a museum inside the palace. There you can witness lots of things related to this place and can get many informations.

Good historical place with lots of ancient stories. Generally there is rush in the afternoon. Morning time is mostly vacant. Entry is 25 inr per person, where child below 15yrs are free entry.

The Hazarduari Palace, once the residence of the Nawabs, now stands as a captivating museum preserving the rich history of the region. The palace itself is a stunning architectural gem attributed to Nazim Khan, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the era. Exploring the museum within is a historical journey that allows visitors to immerse themselves in Mughal heritage and culture. Although photography inside the palace is restricted and mobile devices must be switched off, this rule enhances the experience, encouraging undivided attention to the fascinating exhibits and artifacts. A visit to Hazarduari Palace is not just a trip but an educational voyage into the glorious Mughal era, making it an absolute must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper understanding of the region's rich past.

This Palace is now under government maintenance, taken by ASI. Tickets are just Rs 25 for adults. The museum inside the palace is just Fabulous. We can witness the royal crown, utensils, artillery, paintings, many other things used by the nawabs and the British residents of that time. Just mind blowing for those who love history and historical artifacts!!! A total of 18 halls are opened for the visitors

Its a very very very good place with a lot of interesting things to see. U need to keep a lot of time in your hand to take a good look at every thing. There a lot of things with historic significance.. There are a lot of artifacts... Many paintings ... There is a famous crocodile.. Magic mirror... And of course the 1000 doors..

It's a nice heritage. Lots of people have written about this place in various platform. I will keep it short, not history lesson. Inside you won't get to get guide along. Hence taking the guide is useless. Rather read some blogs where they mainly specify the items displayed inside. So better not. to go for any guide in here. Excellent airy place. No specific parking available though.

The collection of the various historic moments petrified here are in huge number & moreover these are in really good health. The Hazarduari Place has been maintained well by the Archeological Authority of India. The e-ticket system which has been started as a reason of COVID 19 is a good initiative to save time but for all types of visitors it's not smoothly & that's why I think atleast one ticket counter should have been opened. Overall it's a good one to visit in Weekend days & holidays.

Hazarduari places

Great museum with lovely paintings. Hire a guide for best experience and hear the tales of the nawabs. You will get goosebumps 👍

Hazarduari palace is a very old miusiciam. That is made by humayun jea. Now it is a historycal pleace in West Bengal. It view by many different people.

Nice place for one day tour. The garden amazed us.

It's an amazing place in a word.. It was the residential of the last Nabab Sirajuddoula

Very Interesting Place and it gives us defferent type of knowledges .

Very beautiful place, but in my opinion, many descriptions given inside the palace are written only in English, which should be in Bengali as well.

Hazarduari Palace, earlier known as the Bara Kothi,[1] is located in the campus of Kila Nizamat in Murshidabad, in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is situated near the bank of river Ganga. It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838).

Wonderful place, you can requested by travel guide after take the gate pass Rs. 30 ther are taking around Rs. 250 to 300. Travel guide not allowed in the museum it is under central gov. In the museum all those things are described in three languages Bengali, Hindi & English. Inside the museum Videos and still photographs not allowed.

I recently visited Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad, India, and it was an incredible experience. The palace is a magnificent structure, with intricate details and stunning architecture. It was built in the 1800s for the then-Nawab of Bengal, and its grandeur is still evident. I was able to explore the various wings of the palace, and the vast collection of artifacts on display was truly remarkable. I was particularly impressed by the enormous library and the armory, which housed a variety of ancient weapons. The staff was also friendly and informative, and they made sure to answer all my questions. Overall, I was very impressed with my experience at Hazarduari Palace, and I highly recommend it to any traveler looking to explore Indian history.

Very nice. You can book tickets from the counter as well as from the Indian govt site. You can scan the QR code attached to the wall near the ticket counter and it will redirect you to the govt site. The ticket price will be Rs.5 less if you book online. Inside the museum, everything is very well maintained and clean. You can not take any photos or videos inside the museum.

A historical place of Murshidabad. The colonial structure is absolutely stunning. It has 970 galleries almost.

Hazarduari Palace is a Historical Place. Now this is converted to a museum. It has lots of antique collections like paintings, utensils, metal weapons, guns, home decoration items, and lots of antique items. The entry fee is Rs. 25 per person. It has thousands of doors so it is named HAZAR-DUARI. On every friday it remains closed. Rest of the days it remains open. It is rich with historical values. And a place where peoples will get to know rich historical values of India.

Nice historical place. The museum is beautiful. Will suggest to keep a good amount of time in hand while visiting.

Most beautiful and romantic place and palace in west bengal murshidabad lalgola..here guide is available so u can know everything about this place ..here hotel restaurant motel all are available..

Well preserved historic monuments Knowledgeable and passionate guides Many hours of exploring to do However it was too crowded to be able to enjoy these

The place is very beautiful and historical. It's really worth visiting but don't ever fall in the clutches of guides. There's absolutely no need of a guide , there's a very bad business going on there. The ganges adds extra beauty to the place. The yellow mosque is just outside the exit gate and can be visited together with hazarduari.

The most budget friendly and safe place for the tourists is the Youth Hostel, which is few steps away from the palace,You can book it online. For transport, best option is to hire tanga which are available at the museum get and nearby at a very reasonable price. The place is worthy enough to be visited at least once.

Nice place for travellers, but if you see the line. My gosh, it could be taking atleast 1hr of you stand in the line, except you take a guide. I really liked this place, many people mistake it as a creation of Sirajuddaula. There are many interesting things to check out. ( would recommend to visit)

All is great but ticket counter people's is rude and tricky minded. If you have not change money they cut excess amount for ticket. They excuses they don't have change but they already have change. So stay alert⚠

It's a very beautiful place... Camera is not allowed inside the Hazarduari Palace....Its take 1-2 hour to explore all the rooms inside the palace. Friday closed and Others day open from 10 am to 4:30pm

This is my 3rd time visiting. It is an amazing place. This three-floored structure has 114 rooms and 1000 doors out of which 100 doors are false. The Italian-style palace exemplifies the Indo-European blend of architecture during the olden days. It is located close to the banks of the Bhagirathi River and has well-pruned lush green lawns on its grounds. The palace now serves as a museum and is considered to be the biggest site museum of the Archeological Survey of India.

A best place to know history and spend a nice weekend. Exploring the culture is also an important part. A morning walk is a must to feel the place.

Hazarduari Palace is the most conspicuous building in Murshidabad. It has also become a tourist attraction all over India. In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India for better preservation You should visit...

Historical place in Murshidabad. You can feel the essence of Nawabi period. This palace is now a Museum maintained by Archeological Survey of India. The entry ticket for this Museum to be booked online now due to covid.

A fascinating place heralding the pomp and grandeur of the British controlled Nawabi era Bengal.

Amie YouTube channel. Kag kori

An Old museum with lots of old artifacts with too much crowd.

Most of the galleries are closed, my wife visited earlier & she got the chance to visit upstairs but this time I couldn't, disappointed, nothing displayed about the last nawab of Bengal Siraj ud daulah

Really Awesome musium 💯

The rich history and the Royalty

ROHIDUL Hazarduari

Very good historical state. Also lots of old preserved paintings and used items are there in the meuseum

A historic place with some royal painting and handcraft materials.

Very nice

The palace museum is today the biggest site museum managed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The antiquities of the palace museum include the belongings of the royal family, which include a stunning chandelier of the Durbar hall which is the world's second largest chandelier. Out of 1000 doors, 100 are fake to confuse enemies and give the guard enough time to catch them. The museum galleries include Armoury wings, Royal Exhibits, Landscape Gallery, British Portrait Gallery, Nawab Nazim Gallery, Durbar Hall, Committee Room, Billboards Room, Western Drawing room and Religious Objects' Gallery to name a few. Photography is prohibited inside. Guides are not allowed inside but everything is well described in display boards. You can save time by booking tickets online.

Good place to visit...... But there is nothing regarding the last nawab of Bengal.... Entire palace is of the British museum.

-1 star for unnecessarily torturing horses.

Very beautiful place.

Camera is not allowed inside Hazar duari.. Or if you are planning to visit hazarduari tickets are available only with online at ASI official website or else you can buy tickets with outside agent. Orginal price 20 they may be took 25/30 but not more then 30

This place has a lot of historical importance. Beautiful museum which gives us insights about the mughal architecture and culture. This museum possess many antic pieces that belonged to the mughal emperors who ruled this place. Must visit place for people who have keen interest in history.

Hazarduari Palace, earlier known as the Bara Kothi, is located in the campus of Kila Nizamat in Murshidabad, in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is situated near the bank of river Ganga. It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838). The campus except this palace, has in addition the Nizamat Imambara, Wasif Manzil, the Bachhawali Tope, Murshidabad Clock Tower, three mosques out of which one is the Madina Mosque, and the Nawab Bahadur's Institution. Other buildings include residential quarters. It is situated on the east bank of the Bhagirathi River, which flows just beside it.

Hazarduari is always special because of history and sentiment attached with it for Begalis. Theoughout the year millions of visitors visit here. Not sure how much revenue Govt make out of it, but from an ordinary person's view, I can say the maintanance inside of museum is not so good. There is lots of dust around the precious objects. From outside it looks good. Surrounding lawn and places are good as well. You can spend a good time around. There are couple of very good restaurants outside. Any busy day, it is better to visit the palace early in morning as soon as it opens.

Well maintained place of historical interest. The museum holds the history. The cannon , which blasted and killed Mirmadan is kept here. Photography prohibited. Take time if you are interested in history. The outside courtyard holds madina masjid, ghari ghar, bachchawali top and imambara, which is closed for tourists.

This museum is a great place to understand the history of Nawabi Moorshedabad.The adjacent lawn is great for reminiscing about the old golor of Bengal.

Enjoying with my family. Nice historical place. ❤️ 👌

Hazarduari Palace literally means Palace with 1000 doors. . The palace was built by Duncun McLeod for the Nawab Najim Humaun Jah, descendent of Mir Zafar. The palace was used for holding meetings as well as for accommodation of high British officials.

What an amazing place to explore rich heritage of West Bengal . It’s beautiful maintained. And I will suggest to take a local guide to explore in depth. The entry fee & guide fee is very nominal.
