RAJMAHAL, a town of British India, in the district of Bhaugulpore, presidency of Bengal, and 196 miles N.W. of Calcutta, on a steep bank on the right side of the Ganges, which sweeps past with a broad, impetuous current, sometimes washing away large portions of the land. It contains the ruins of two palaces and two mosques, one of which is a large imposing building, though of rude execution. The houses are generally mean and ruinous, clustered round twelve separate market-places; and the appearance of the town is wretched. Rajmahal is a place of very great antiquity; according to one account, having been founded more than 3000 years B.C. It was ceded to the British in 1765. Pop. estimated at 30,000.
