Pandua: The Lost Capital of the Sultanate of Bengal A pilgrimage site for centuries, the Malda district in the north of West Bengal state holds many a secret for the history buff, with a long list of quaint-sounding old towns steeped in history. North of Gauda, about 19 km from the administrative centre of English Bazar or Ingrejbajar, stand the ruins of the old capital city of Pandua which was at its prime in the 13th century CE. The city was also known as Hazrat Pandua or Boro-Pendo. It was given the prefix ‘Hazrat’ by several prominent Muslim saints and preachers such as Jalaluddin Tabrizi (13th century CE) and Nur Qut Alam (died 1415 CE approx.), who made the city their home and whose tombs have made it a Muslim pilgrimage site. From the mid-fourteenth century to the mid-fifteenth century, Pandua served as the capital of Bengal under the Ilyas Shahi Dynasty that ruled Bengal between 1342 and 1487 CE. It would continue to serve as a mint town until the time of Sher Shah Suri.
