This places are awesome because of the heritage value. The place is well connected to roads. Though lack of maintenance is visibile. That's something which needs to be taken care of.nThe place has no ticketing system. The local boys might ask for Rs. 2/- per head. Just a nominal charge taken by the local boys..

Its a tomb of the daughter of Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, the Dewan of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha. Its texture and architecture has a similar pattern like Katra Masjid. Nice place.

Murshid Quli Khan, also known as Mohammad Hadi and born as Surya Narayan Mishra (c. 1660 – 30 June 1727), was the first Nawab of Bengal, serving from 1717 to 1727.nnMurshid Quli KhanBorn a Hindu in the Deccan Plateau c. 1670, Murshid Quli Khan was bought by Mughal noble Haji Shafi. After Shafi's death, he worked under the Divan of Vidarbha, during which time he piqued the attention of the then-emperor Aurangzeb, who sent him to Bengal as the divan c. 1700. However, he entered into a bloody conflict with the province's subahdar, Azim-us-Shan. After Aurangzeb's death in 1707, he was transferred to the Deccan Plateau by Azim-us-Shan's father the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah I. However, he was brought back as deputy subahdar in 1710. In 1717, he was appointed as the Nawab Nazim of Murshidabad by Farrukhsiyar. During his reign, he changed the jagirdari system (land management) to the mal jasmani, which would later transform into the zamindari system. He also continued sending revenues from the state to the Mughal Empire. He built the Katra Masjid mosque at Murshidabad where he was buried under the steps of the staircase after his death on 30 June 1727. He was succeeded by his son-in-law Shuja ud Din Muhammad Khan.
