Ahsan Manzil situated at Kumartoli of Dhaka on the bank of the Buriganga, was the residential palace and the kachari of the nawabs of dhaka. It has been turned into a museum recently. It was said to be the Rang Mahal of Sheikh Enayetullah, a zamindar of Jamalpur pargana (Barisal) during the time of the Mughals. Having purchased it from his son Matiullah, the french made it their trading centre. Khwaja alimullah bought it from the French in 1830 and converted it into his residence, effecting necessary reconstruction and renovations. Nawab Khwaja abdul ghani engaged Martin and Company, a European construction and engineering firm, to make a master plan for their residence. manjil hasan -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "আমার বন্ধু দয়াময়, তোমারে দেখিবার মনে লয় II Amar bondhu doyamoy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96F-5xJnv_o -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
