supermom priyanka's video: A short trip to Cossimbazar Rajbari Palace travelvlog supermompriyanka

Hello friends, Hope you all are doing great,In today's video i'm sharing a beautiful place near murshidabad.Its a Cossimbajar rajbari palace. We were at Cossimbazar Rajbari (palace) adjacent to the historical town of Murshidabad in West Bengal. Way back in time, when Murshidabad was the capital of the Nawabs of Bengal, Cossimbazar was a flourishing port on the Ganga, tucked inside a bend in the river. So it was here —around 1700 — that Ajodhya Ram Roy of Pirojpur village decided to settle down with his family. Ajodhya Ram Roy and his son Dinobandhu Roy traded in silk and built up a sizable business in silk export. But after the English East India Company defeated the Nawab of Murshidabad and subsequently decided to straighten out the course of Ganga to facilitate direct passage of boats between Murshidabad and Behrampore (now Baharampur), Cossimbazar lost its strategic importance and dwindled away. The Roy family too began to look at other options. Dinobandhu Roy’s son Jagabandhu Roy, became a ‘dewan’ of the East India Company but subsequently quit his service and purchased a ‘zamindari’ in Sarail (now in Bangladesh). Later generations, by dint of their educational prowess and business acumen, continued to prosper. In recognition of the family’s benevolence towards the local people, the British government conferred the title of ‘Rai Bahadur’ to Annada Prosad Roy. They also wanted to confer upon him the title of ‘Raja’ but unfortunately Annada Prosad died on the eve of the ceremony. Later the title was conferred upon his son Ashutosh Nath Roy. Meanwhile, the palace was also rebuilt in parts or expanded through new buildings, temples, offices, gardens, tennis courts, etc. over time. “My grandfather Raja Kamalaranjan Roy stayed here but it was not easy to maintain a palace that required around 200 guards alone for security, not to speak of the other household staff, the gardeners, and others,†Pallab Roy filled us up on his family history as we picked our way through the sprawling palace. Therefore, with the abolition of ‘zamindari’ in the 1950s, earnings dwindled and the palace had to be shut down while the family moved to their Calcutta home for better pursuits. The Roys shut down the Cossimbazar Palace but did not abandon it. It was in the early 90s that the family decided to have a go at the restoration of the palace.  Many areas had been walled up for lack of upkeep, objects stolen and many of the sections in severe disrepair. “We realised that the amount of work and the money necessary to restore the palace would be crippling. But we refused to give up,†said Roy.
