Nizamat Imambara, Hussainiya and national monument in Murshidabad, India
The Nizamat Imambara stretches 680 feet along the Bagirathi River, featuring three grand quadrangles and the central Madina Mosque with marble flooring throughout the structure.
Built in 1847 under Nawab Mansur Ali Khan's direction, this religious structure replaced the original wooden Imambara from 1740 that burned down during a celebration in 1846.
The Imambara functions as a primary gathering space for Shia Muslim ceremonies, particularly during Muharram observances commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains the monument, which visitors can access through local transportation networks in Murshidabad's Nizamat Fort Area.
Masons completed the construction in eleven months by working extended hours, receiving both wages and meals as compensation for their continuous labor.
