=== '''History of Ahsan Manzil''' === Constructed between 1859 and 1872, Ahsan Manzil was named after '''Nawab Khwaja Ahsanullah''', the son of Nawab Khwaja Abdul Ghani, the founder of the Nawab dynasty in Dhaka. The palace served as the official residence of the Nawab family and played a key role in the political and cultural life of Bengal during British rule. The two-story palace showcases a blend of Indo-Saracenic and European architectural styles. Over the years, Ahsan Manzil has seen many historic events, including meetings with British colonial officials and social gatherings of the elite. Following the partition of India in 1947 and the decline of the Nawab family, the palace fell into disrepair. However, it was restored and converted into a museum in 1992, preserving the history and legacy of this royal residence.
