History of Murshidabad |


Jahan Kosha Cannon (also known as the Great Gun) literally means the Destroyer of the World. It is placed in the Topekhana a quarter of mile to the south east of the Katra Mosque, in the town of Murshidabad, West Bengal, India. Topekhana was the Nawab's Artillery Park and the entrance gate of the old capital of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, the city of Jahangir Nagar. It is protected on the east by the Gobra Nala, locally known as the Katra Jheel. Here, the Jahan Kosha Cannon is laid to rest. Before being placed at its current location, it rested on a carriage with wheels and was surrounded by the roots of a Peepal tree. The growth of the tree roots gradually lifted the gun four feet above the ground. The wheels of the gun carriage have disappeared, but the iron-work of the carriage and the trunions are still visible. The cannon is made of ashtadhatu or 8 metals, namely silver, gold, lead, copper, zinc, tin, iron and mercury.

The cannon is made of ashtadhatu or 8 metals, namely silver, gold, lead, copper, zinc, tin, iron and mercury.

The cannon is more than 7 tons in weight. It is 17 feet and 6 inches in length and 3 feet in width. It has a girth of 5 feet at the touch hole end. The circumference of its mouth is more than one foot. The radius of the touch hole is one and a half inches. In order to fire this cannon once, 17 kilograms of gunpowder was needed. The bore is approximately 6 inches.

The cannon was made in 1637 by Janardan Karmakar, a blacksmith and gunsmith, under the instructions of Daroga Shree Mohammad and under the supervision of Hara Ballav Das. The cannon was named in Dacca, when Shah Jahan was the Mughal emperor, at the instance of Islam Khan, who was the Subedar of Bengal. This is confirmed by an inscription engraved on it. However, the cannon has several other names like the Great Gun, the Destroyer of the world, the Conqueror of the universe, the World Subduer and so on.

জাহান কোষা কামান ,মুর্শিদাবাদ || Jahan Kosha Kaman, Murshidabad

আজ চলুন ঘুরে আসি পশ্চিমবঙ্গের মুর্শিদাবাদের তোপখানা থেকে যেখানে আমরা দেখতে পাবো জাহানকোষা কামান এটি মুর্শিদাবাদের কাটরার দক্ষিণ-পূর্বে তোপখানায় অবস্থিত একটি ঐতিহাসিক কামান। মধ্যযুগীয় বাংলার নবাবী আমলের যুদ্ধাস্ত্রের এটি একটি উল্লেখযোগ্য নিদর্শন। 'জাহান কোষা' শব্দের অর্থ হল 'পৃথিবীর ধ্বংসকারী'। নবাব মুর্শিদকুলি খাঁ ঢাকা থেকে রাজধানী মুর্শিদাবাদে স্থানান্তরিত করবার সময় ওই কামানটি এখানে নিয়ে আসেন।

Jahan kosha Cannon Murshidabad : জাহানকোষা কামান মুর্শিদাবাদ

১৬৩৭ সালে বর্তমান বাংলাদেশের ঢাকায় জাহানকোষা তোপ নির্মিত হয়েছিল। সেই সময় ঢাকার নাম ছিল জাহাঙ্গীর নগর। মুঘল সম্রাট শাজাহানের রাজত্বকালে (১৬২৭-৫৮ সালে) বাংলার সুবাদার ছিলেন ইসলাম খাঁ। তাঁর অধীনস্থ দারোগা শের মহম্মদের অধীনে হরবল্লভ দাসের তত্ত্বাবধানে জনার্দন কর্মকার এই বিশাল জাহানকোষা নির্মাণ করেছিলেন।

১৭০৩ সালে মুর্শিদকুলি খাঁ বাংলার রাজধানী ঢাকা থেকে মুখসুদাবাদে (বর্তমানে মুর্শিদাবাদ) স্থানান্তরিত করার সময় সম্ভবত এই কামানটি নিয়ে আসেন। ‘জাহানকোষা’র অর্থ হল বিশ্বধ্বংসী বা মতান্তরে বিশ্বজয়ী। জাহানকোষার দৈর্ঘ্য সাড়ে সতেরো ফুট, ওজন ২১২ মন। এটি নির্মাণে লোহা-সহ আরও সাতটি ধাতু ব্যবহৃত হয়েছিল। জাহানকোষার দু’দিকে তিনটি করে মোট ছ’টি বলয়, সামনে ও পিছনের অংশে সুন্দর অলঙ্করণ চোখে পড়ে। কামানের গায়ে ফার্সি ভাষায় লিখিত মোট ন’টি পিতলের ফলকে কামান নির্মাণের কাহিনী, রাজন্যবর্গের প্রশস্তি বর্ণিত হয়েছে। এতে এক বার গোলা নিক্ষেপ করতে আঠাশ সের বারুদ ব্যবহৃত হত।

কামানটি নবাবী আমলে লোহার চারটি চাকার উপর স্থাপিত ছিল। কালক্রমে কামানের পাশে একটি পাকুড় গাছ বড়ো হয়ে উঠলে জাহানকোষা তোপটি গাছে কাণ্ডে আটকে পড়ে। কেন্দ্র সরকার কামানটিকে কেটে বের করে আনে এবং বর্তমানে উঁচু জায়গায় রাখেন।

Before being placed at its current location, it rested on a carriage with wheels and was surrounded by the roots of a Peepal tree. The growth of the tree roots gradually lifted the gun four feet above the ground. The wheels of the gun carriage have disappeared, but the iron-work of the carriage and the trunions are still visible. The cannon is made of ashtadhatu or 8 metals, namely silver, gold, lead, copper, zinc, tin, iron and mercury.

The cannon is more than 7 tons in weight. It is 17 feet and 6 inches in length and 3 feet in width. It has a girth of 5 feet at the touch hole end. The circumference of its mouth is more than one foot. The radius of the touch hole is one and a half inches. In order to fire this cannon once, 17 kilograms of gunpowder was needed.
