Murshidabad (মুর্শিদাবাদ Murshidābād), one of the largest districts of West Bengal, is home to the Nawabs of Murshidabad that once ruled over Bengal, Bihar and Odisha. Although the Nawabs have been ceremonial since 1757, the district has maintained its cultural heritage dating back to the Nawab rule.
