A painting from the book The Musnud of Murshidabad (1704-1904), published in 1905, showing the river line at Roshniganj. The text reads, “On the bank of the river at Roshniganj, stands a small building which accommodated the office of the boat establishment of the Nazims. It is known as the Neoara house. A large number of boats, of all descriptions, used to float in the river or rest at anchor near this house.”
