The home of Jagat Set in the Murshidabad district of the Indian state of West Bengal is currently a very popular place for tourists.

Basically, Jagat Set is not a person Jagat Set is a title. which Mehtab Chand took the title from the then Nawab of Delhi. Mehtab Chand was one of the richest men and bankers in those days. From the Nawabs to the Zamindars and even the East India Company, the British Rao Mehtab, i.e. Jagat Set, came at interest to borrow money. And that is the exchange of interest. Even the British along with Jagat Seth Nawab used to lend with interest the money required for various war arrangements.
Many historians have different views on the meaning of the world set. As someone has said that Jagat Seti had so much money that he had the power to make legs out of the gold of the flowing Bhagirati River in Murshidabad, another historian has said that Jagat Seti was the owner of so much money that all the merchants in London could not accumulate so much money.
