The monument dedicated to the Battle of Plassey. A memorial stone was erected in 1883 to mark the victory of the British in the battle. The monument is under the preservation of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). A set of three obelisks marks homage to the spot where Bakshi Mir Madan (the chief of the Nawab's artillery), Bahadur Ali Khan (Commander of Musketeers) and Nauwe Singh Hazari (the Captain of Artillery) were killed in the battle. A gold-coloured statue of Siraj ud-Daula lies next to the Palashi Monument, in a clearing amidst mango orchards and fields. The tombs of Siraj ud-Daulah, Mir Jafar, their wives and a number of generals in Siraj's army lie close by.
Palashi Monument is a monument at Palashi (Plassey), Nadia district, in the state of West Bengal. This was erected in memory of the Battle of Plassey fought between Sir Robert Clive, commander of the British East India Company and Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah on 23 June 1757. Initially this victory memorial was stoned here in 1883, which was rebuilt later at the period of Lord Curzon. The monument is under preservation of Archaeological Survey of India. In 2007, on the 250th anniversary of the battle, a statue of Siraj ud-Daulah was established by All India Forward Bloc leader Debabrata Biswas on behalf of India-Pakistan-Bangladesh People's Forum.
