PANDUA

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 675 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANDUA , a ruined city in
Malda
 
district
  of Eastern
Bengal
  and
Assam
 , once a
Mahommedan
 
capital
 . It is situated 7 M. N.E. of
Malda
 , and about 20 M. from the other
great
  ruined city of Gaur (q.v.), from which it was largely built. It was probably originally an outpost of Gaur, and
grew
  in importance as Gaur became unhealthy. In A.D. 1353 Haji Shamsuddin Ilyas, the first independent king of
Bengal
 , transferred his
capital
  from Gaur to Pandua; but the time of its prosperity was short, and in A.D. 1453 the capital was transferred back to Gaur. Its only celebrated building is the Adina Mosque, which was described by
James
  Fergusson as the finest example of Pathan
architecture
  in existence. This
great
  mosque was built by Sikandar Shah in 1369 (see INDIAN
ARCHITECTURE
 ). Pandua now, like Gaur, is almost entirely given over to the jungle.
