The Nasipur Rajbari was the family palace of the dynasty founded by Devi SIngh, who came from northern India as a trader, and appointed by the British as a local tax collector. The palace was built by Devi Singh's nephew, Raja Udwanta SIngha and his grand-nephew Raja Kirti Chandra SIngha. The front facade of the palace has a Greek and Roman architectural influence, and has a stark resemblance with the Hazarduari palace. The inside of the palace has a rectangular courtyard at the centre. Beyond the courtyard there is a temple complex. The left and right flanks of the palace consisted of rooms which are in ruins due lack of maintenance. Only the front facade and section of the palace have received some repairs in recent years, but again lack in regular maintenance. There is an entry fee of 10/- per head, but it is evident that the palace does not receive the required maintenance. It is heartbreaking to find such a beautiful architecture in a dilapidated condition. There are local guides available at a nominal cost, but the authenticity of their narration would be anybody's guess.

The Seth family were basically Marwaris who were the top most bankers and money lenders of those days . Jagath Seth along with Mir Jafar were the traitors who connived with The East India Company leading to the downfall of The Nawab Of Bengal Siraj Ud Daulah.The house is well maintained ,quiet and peaceful.

The large building opposite to the hazarduari palace museum. Never really got to see what’s inside. Imambara is basically the holy shrine of Muslim religion. I have heard the imambara opens up on Fridays for offering prayers, but then it remains closed for general public on Fridays. So I guess I’d have to remain happy with the exterior view only.
