The Nizamat Imambara in Murshidabad, West Bengal, is a monumental Shi'ite congregation hall originally constructed in 1740 by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah. After fires destroyed the structure in 1842 and 1846, it was rebuilt in 1847 by Nawab Mansur Ali Khan in the Islamic architectural tradition. Frequently cited as the world's largest imambara, the building stands as a testament to Murshidabad's historical importance as a regional seat of power. Since 1977, it has been designated a Monument of National Importance and has been administered by the Archaeological Survey of India since 1985.
