Hazarduari Palace, Palace and museum in Murshidabad, India

The Hazarduari Palace stands 80 feet tall with three floors, spanning 130 meters in length and 61 meters in width along the Bhagirathi River.

Duncan Macleod designed this neo-classical palace for Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah, with construction beginning in 1829 and completion in 1837.

The palace museum displays artifacts from the Nawab era, including weapons, vintage cars, paintings, and the second largest chandelier after Buckingham Palace.

The palace complex opens to visitors daily except Fridays, with guided tours available to explore the architectural features and historical collections.

Among its 1000 doors, 100 are false entrances strategically placed to confuse potential intruders and provide time for palace guards to catch them.
