Nimtita

Nimtita is a village and gram panchayat in the Samserganj CD block in the Jangipur subdivision of Murshidabad district in the state of West Bengal, India.

Two cousins, Gour Sundar and Dwarikanath Choudhury purchased large tracts of land and established the Nimtita Estate around 1866–67.

The subdivision is located in the Rarh region that is spread over from adjoining Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand.

Satyajit Ray made one of his great films based on that story – Jalsaghar, with the legendary Chhabi Biswas in the lead role.
