Jafraganj Cemetery

This is the place where the traitor, Mir Jafar was buried. All his family members were also buried here along with their pets. We combined with another tourist party and together took a guide so the cist became cheap. Don't know why but the gatekeepers of the place were constantly arguing with us that Mir Jafar wasn't a traitor and that it will be proved in the future and other things like that. This place needs to be maintained properly as it was very dirty and the tombs were not properly taken care of

10 rupee entry tickets make this place worthy. But most of the tombs are unnamed. Better to take a guide to visit this place.

While visiting Murshidabad, when I entered to see this cemetery, history came to the fore.

There are thousands of graves around. Among them we are the few alive. How many majestic people are now sleeping peacefully here!

This cemetery is mainly reserved for the descendants of Mirzafar. It is said that it was established by Mirzafar himself. Covering a large area, most of which is now crumbling due to lack of maintenance. Government should take care of this. Here are the graves of Mirzafar, his eldest son Miron, his wives and even the graves of his pet pigeons.

Each grave has a different story, history. Their desired sins and virtues are mixed in this soil. New graves are still being made. It will take time and guide to know these things. You will get the guide there. Take off your shoes and enter, calm your mind and sit here for a while. You will see that the wind around you is handing you the unknown words of history...
