Khosh Bagh
Khosh Bagh literally means "Garden of Happiness" is the garden-cemetery of the Nawabs of Bengal, situated on the west bank
of the Bhagirathi river in Murshidabad, West Bengal. Khushbagh hosts the graves of the Nawabs of Bengal of the Afshar dynasty and their family members. Khosh Bagh is the resting place of Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah, his wife Lutf-un-nisa, Nawab Alivardi Khan, and his mother, amongst others.
The garden-cemetery was built by the first Nawab of Bengal, Nawab Alivardi Khan. The garden hosts the graves of Siraj ud-Daulah and Alivardi Khan, inside a square, flat-roofed mausoleum surrounded by an arcade verandah. The beautiful, near 8 acre, garden area is actually a cemetery.
