The Nizamat Imambara (Bengali: নিজামত ইমামবাড়া), also known as the Nizamat Kila, is a Shi'ite imambara (or congregation hall), located in Murshidabad, in the state of West Bengal, India.
It was built in 1740 CE by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah and, after it was destroyed by the fires of 1842 and 1846, was rebuilt in 1847 by Nawab Mansur Ali Khan. The building is frequently mentioned as the largest imambara in the world.
Together with the Hazarduari Palace, the Imambara is a Monument of National Importance since 1977, and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India since 1985.
