    History

    Khosh Bagh was commissioned by Nawab Alivardi Khan in the 18th century as his final resting place. He, along with his grandson Siraj-ud-Daulah and other members of the Nawab family, are buried here. The garden served not only as a burial ground but also as a symbol of the Nawabs' power and legacy. After the Battle of Plassey in 1757, Siraj-ud-Daulah's defeat marked a turning point in Indian history, leading to British dominance. Khosh Bagh, therefore, stands as a poignant reminder of the end of an era and the beginning of colonial rule. The tombs within the garden are a testament to the architectural styles prevalent during the Nawabi period and provide valuable insights into the region's cultural and political past.
