Brief About Mainpuri
District
Early History
( Back to Menu ): The materials for a
history of Mainpuri are exeedingly scanty,and can, indeed, scareely
be said to exit till after the Musalman invasion when references
to places within its borders are occasionally to be met within
the pages of historians. But villages and towns, afford abundant
evidance, in the coins and fragments of masonry and broken pottery
which they contain, that these sites have been continuosly inhabited
by civilised communities from a very remote antiquity. At Parham
General Cunningham found coins of various periods from that of
the satraps Rajubul and his son Sandasa, while Buddhist remains
dating from the early centuries of the Christians era are common.
But the only historical facts to be gleaned from the testimony
of these mute memorials are the continuity of civilization in
the region now comprised in the Mainpuri district and a knowledge
of the kingdoms to which it at different times belonged. After
part of the Gupta empire Mainpuri was included in Harsha's kingdom
of Kanauj,and continued for several centuries to be attached to
that capital.
