Ahsan Manzil History

Ahsan Manzil (Bengali আহসান মঞ্জিল, Ahsan Manzil) was the authorized familial palace and seat of the Nawab of Dhaka. The edifice is disposed of at Kumartoli along the banks of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Construction was started in 1859 and was completed in 1872. (1) It was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic Revival configuration. It has been designated as a civil gallery.

History:
In the Mughal age, there was an amphitheater house of Sheikh Enayet Ullah, the landlord of Jamalpur Pogona ( nabe), in this place. Sheikh Enayet Ullah was a really attractive person. He acquired a really big area in Kumortuli (Kumartuli) and included it in his amphitheater house. Presently he constructed a beautiful palace and named it"Rongmohol" (Rangmahal). He used to enjoy presently keeping beautiful girls collected from the country and abroad, dressing them in gorgeous dresses and dear caparisons. There's a saying that, the creator of Dhaka ( representative of the Mughal emperor) in that time was attracted to one of the beautiful girls among them.

Probably in the period of Nawab Alibardi Khan around the 1740 century, Sheikh Moti Ullah, the son of Sheikh Enayet Ullah, dealt the property to the French dealers. The trading house got fat after buying this property. At that time, French dealers could do business presently without paying any assessments by a decree from the emperor Awrangajeb. At that time, the French got really fat by doing business presently in competition with the English and other European companies.

In 1785, the French transferred the property to a French tradesman named Mr. Champigni and reacquired it in 1801. According to the Paris agreement of 1814, the French claimed all their left lots at Dhaka, and in 1827 the property was again returned to the French. For the accelerating power of the English, the French were forced to leave the supercontinent. They decided to deal with all their lots in Dhaka. So in 1830, the trading house of Kumartuli was bought by the established landlord of Dhaka Khwaja Alimullah.

After some amendment work, the trading house waxed the place of Khwaja Alimullah. In his time, a stable and a family sanctuary was added to the mix. On the east side of the old structure, he made a new structure with a different design and also done great amendment work to the old structure. Since either, the old structure was called"Andor Mohol " and the new structure was called"Rong Mohol".

On the evening of 7 April 1888, a disastrous northerly hit Dhaka municipality causing great damage. Ahsan Manjil was ill damaged and abandoned. An English mastermind from Kolkata arrived presently to examine the palace. He gave the opinion that except for the"Rangmahal", all the other tracts of the palace would have to be reconstructed. Both of the structures were reconstructed during that time with a new design and supervised by the foreign mastermind Gobinda Chandra Roy.
