Murshidabad is a Hooghly River (Ganges River) cruise port and city in India's West Bengal state, with population around 50,000. The town was developed during British India (colonial period 1858-1947). During the Mughal Empire (1526-1857) it was the capital city of Bengal Residency.
Current-day city's economy is based on agriculture, silk farming and manufacturing, handicrafts, education (schools, colleges) and tourism. Best-known tourist attractions include Nizamat Kila (Nawabs Fortress / aka Hazarduari Palace, built in 1829-37), Moti Jhil (Pearl Lake), Muradbagh Palace, Khushbagh Cemetery, Nizamat Imambara (1847-built Shia Muslim hall), Katra Masjid (1724-built mosque), Bacchawali Tope (14th-century cannon gun located in the Nizamat Fort's garden / between Imambara and Hazaarduari Palace, east of Madina Mosque).
As cruise port, Murshidabad was included in the 2019 schedules of the riverboats Ganges Voyager II and Bengal Ganga. Next tables show ships' itineraries (roundtrips from homeport Kolkata/Calcutta) as call port sequences.
