Wasif Manzil, Indo-Saracenic palace in Murshidabad, India.

The Wasif Manzil palace features Norman archways, corner turrets, and a semi-circular pediment displaying the Nawabs of Murshidabad coat of arms.

Built in 1904 by Nawab Wasif Ali Mirza Khan, the palace underwent reconstruction after the 1897 earthquake, which destroyed its second floor.

The marble staircases, statues, and architectural elements within the palace demonstrate the fusion of Indian and Persian design principles from the early 1900s.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this single-story structure as a museum, positioned between Dakshin Darwaza and Hazarduari Palace.

The palace garden contains a central fountain surrounded by marble statues and decorative iron railings facing the Bhagirathi-Hooghly River.
