Ahsan Manzil History

 

In the mid-eighteenth century, Sheikh Inayetullah Ahsan, the zamindar of Jamalpur [2] pargana, built a palace called Rangmahal in the Manzil. Later, his son Sheikh Matiullah sold the palace to French merchants. It was known as a trade center since ancient times. In 1830, Khawaja Alimullah, father of Nawab Abdul Ghani, who lived in Begombazar, bought the place and started living there. Khwaja Abdul Ghani commissioned a European architectural and engineering firm called Martin & Company to design the house by , and Ahsan became the chief architect of Manzil. Nawab Abdul Ghani started the construction of the palace in 1859 and completed it in 1872. He named the palace 'Ahsan Manzil' in memory of his beloved son Khwaja Ahsanullah. At that time, the newly constructed building was known as Rangmahal and the old building was known as Andaramahal. 

 

 The entire Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged in the great earthquake that occurred on 7 April 1888. The current high dome was added during the reconstruction of the damaged Ahsan Manzil. Quality bricks are brought to Raniganj for construction and repair. Engineer Govind Chandra Roy led the repair work. [3] At that time, there was no building as important as Ahsan Manzil in Dhaka city. Since the top of the palace was one of the highest peaks in the city, it attracted everyone from afar, even 

 people. Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged in the earthquake that occurred in Dhaka on 12 June 1897. The southern balcony of Nahwat Khana and Ahsan Manzil on Islampur Road was completely destroyed. It was later built by Nawab Ahsanullah. [1] [4] In 1952, the property of the Nawab of Dhaka was acquired by the government under the Zamindari Abolition Act. However, the Nawab's Ahsan Manzil buildings and garden houses do not exist. As the Nawab family's wealth and influence diminished over time, Ahsan Manzil became difficult to maintain. In the 1960s, members of the Nawab family purchased valuables at auction here

The Department was propelled in the mid-2000s; despite the fact that of the generally late source, we feel that the Department has as of now prevailing with regards to setting up itself as a legitimate foundation both at home and abroad.

Our own is a standout amongst the most well-known subjects in the sociologies staff in the University regarding the request by the graduate and post graduate understudies for enlistment into our projects.
