MAHULA:
It is a village under Beldanga police station. This village is the birth place of Mr.
Rambrahma Sanyal (1849A.D.), the founder superintendent of Calcutta Zoological Garden.
Actually he was a doctor but his sheer interest in Zoology made him an animal lover rather
than a doctor. In 1892 he published "A Handbook of the Management of Animals in
Captivity in Lower Bengal", perhaps the first of its kind. Now the ruins of his own
house and the adjacent Narayana temple bear the heritage of a pioneering scholar in
Zoology in our country. |

RAJBHAWAN:
After the grant of diwani from Mughal Emperor the English decided to establish their
capital at Murshidabad. In 1790 the diwani headquarter was set up to Felicity Hall (Later
popularly known as Banjetia House) in Madapur, near Berhampore. The John Company i.e., the
East India Company bought the Felicity Hall from an English merchant. When diwani
headquarter was shifted to Calcutta, then Cossimbazar Raj family bought that house and
Raja Krishnath used that palace as his garden palace. In 1957 Murshidabad Institute of
Technology was set up in this palace. But in the month of August, 2000 the Felicity Hall
was demolished. But now in that campus Murshidabad Institute of Technology has stood in a
new and glamourous look. |
