Jagat Sett's house, State Protected Monument in Murshidabad-Jiaganj, India.
The residence features multiple chambers, ornate balconies, temples, and decorative gardens reflecting the architectural styles of colonial Bengal during the 18th century.
Built in 1704, the house belonged to the Jagat Seth family, who gained prominence when Manik Chand received the title of Nagar Seth in 1715.
The house contains several temples and religious structures that demonstrate the integration of Bengali Jain traditions with regional architectural elements.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking a train to Murshidabad railway station, which connects to major cities including Howrah, Mumbai, and Chennai.
