Abstract
Far below Gour, but still in high repute, is Rajmahal, which has drawn
interests to scholars of history. The city founded by Raja Mann Singh and adored by
Sultan Shuja, at one time rivaled Delhi in splendor and luxury. Up to recent years we can
spot many vestiges of the work done by Raja Mann Singh and Sultan Suja. Bishop Heber
remarks of the palace of Sultan Sujah, of the stone roofed and delicately carved balcony
'stills retain traces of gilding and Arabic inscriptions. ' This paper tries to resurface the
lost pomp and opulence of the 'Town' and the nucleus of the whole argument aims at
revival of history of 'Medieval Eastern Bengal ', which is still in oblivion.
