Sarnarundi Banwarivad Rajbari, Murshidabad


Sarnarundi Banwarivad 

 Sarnarundi Banwarivad village in Murshidabad district , which is about 5 km west of the Salar station on the Katwa - Azimganj Rail Route. The village is named after the god of the house of the kings of Sonarundi. Nityananda Dalal was the founder of the Banwarivad dynasty.. Nityananda's father Jagmohan Dalal lived in Sonarundi village. Nityananda was born in Sonarundi in the 1750. At a young age, he became fluent in Arabic, Urdu, and Persian. King Sah Alam was pleased with his knowledge of the language and appointed Nityananda to Delhi in his Mirmunsi position.

The emperor gave him the title Daneshband. Then he was given the title of Maharaja and appointed Sathazari Manasdari. He built temples, libraries, schools for the people of his village. He passed on in the year 1821, and his eldest son Jagadindra Banwarilal got the title of Maharaja Bahadur. On the recommendation of Nawab Nazim, Lord William Banting gave him the title of Maharaja.


 He donated three lakh rupees to the English company during the Brahma war and fifty thousand rupees for the construction of the Kolkata Strand Road. After his death, younger brother Jagadindra Banwari Govinda received the title of Maharaja from Lord Canning. From then on the dynasty began to decline. The last king of that dynasty was Banavari. His queen Kalyani Sahib is the only living lamp in the present royal family. Most parts of the palace have collapsed.
 Thakurbari in Rajbari is still a must visit place. There are various idols of gods like Vrindavan. There is a large dighi adjacent to the Thakurbari. Rui, mrigal, katal fish are domesticated from there.
No one is ever allowed to get caught. Big fish can be seen when the food is thrown from the barrage of barren ghats. During the Vaisnava period, Janmastami and Radhastami, fish are released into the water.
 Whenever a fish dies, it is taken and floated in the Ganges. Many come from far and wide to see the fish in the pond of the palace.
