Is the Nizamat imambara Murshidabad the largest in India?
The present Nizamat Imambara was built in 1847 AD by Nawab Mansour Ali Khan.
It’s 680 feet long with three wings. 
The central one has the Medina with the tazia and Alam, the old Imambara was primarily made up of wood. The plot where this Imambara had been built was dug to a depth of 6 feet. It was refilled with soil which was brought from Mecca that the poor members of the Muslim community could have an experience of Hajj.
