CHUNAR, or CHUNARGHUR

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 324 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHUNAR, or CHUNARGHUR , a town and ancient fortress of India, in the
district
  of Mirzapur, in the United Provinces, situated on the
south
  bank of the Ganges. Pop. (1901) 9926. The fort occupies a conspicuous site on the summit of an abrupt
rock
  which commands the river. It was at one time a place of
great
  strength, and still contains a magazine, and is fortified with batteries. In the old citadel on the height, the remains of a Hindu palace with some interesting carvings indicate the former importance of the place. The town, which consists of one or two straggling streets, contains a handsome English
church
 .
Chunar
  is first mentioned in the 16th century, when in possession of Sing Joanpore. In 1530 it became the residence of Shere Shah the Afghan, and
forty
 -five years later was recovered by the emperor
Akbar
  after sustaining a siege of six months. It fell into the
hands of the English under General
Carnac
  in 1763 after a prolonged resistance which caused considerable loss to the assailants. A treaty with the nawab of Oudh was signed here by Warren Hastings on behalf of the
East
  India Company in September 1781.
