Geography & terrain

Rajmahal lies in the Sahibganj district of Jharkhand, 320 km from Ranchi and 60 km from Sahibganj — the Mughal town of the region, its 1592 palace ruins, the tombs and the Ganges edge set on the river's east bank.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1592 Mughal era — the Mughal capital of the 1592 founding and the river town of the Akbar's Bengal seat, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Jharkhand circuit and the home of the 1592-era palace ruins and the Mir Qasim tomb and the Jama Masjid; the town's history of the 1769 famine era and the 16th-century Ganges port life, gives Rajmahal its Mughal character.
