After breakfast we took horse-drawn carts to Katra Mosque, built 1723-1724 by the first Nawab of Murshidabad.

Then, back in the buggies:

We visited Hazarduari Palace, built during the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah (1824 –1838). The palace has more than a thousand real and false doors in the vast corridors, and is filled with colonial era antiques, artwork and manuscripts. Opposite to the Palace is a vast Imambara – built by the Nawab for worship.

Afterwards we walked back to the ship – just in time for lunch.

Our afternoon excursion was to Baranagar, home to
several temples dating from the 18th century (1714 – 1793). Built by Rani (Queen) Bhabani, the landlady of Natore, the brick temples are considered to be among the best examples of Bengal terra cotta art.

Then, we walked back to the shore to catch the skiff back to ship.
