Stories from Murshidabad

Silk from the mulberry country

Murshidabad has raised silkworms and reeled thread for centuries; its soft, light mulberry silk is woven into plain and printed saris in the villages around Jiaganj.

Where Baluchari began

The figured Baluchari sari, with whole scenes in its pallu, was first woven at Baluchar on the Bhagirathi in the 18th century before the craft moved to Bishnupur.

Hazarduari

The Nawabs’ palace of 1837 has a thousand doors, many of them false, and a museum of arms, chandeliers and portraits inside.
