To generations of people in West Bengal, Malda always meant best of mangoes. And not without reason. Apart from being the mango orchard of the state with a huge production of mangoes in summer, the variety of mangoes and their quality have all captivated the connoisseur and layman alike.

But in these columns we mention Malda for a different reason and that is tourism. Malda is a destination worth a visit for the archaeological treasures that are on display there. Washed by the waters of the Ganga, Mahananda, Kalindi and Fulahar, Maldah – the ancient Gaur – was once the capital of the kingdom known variously in different ages as Gaur and Banga, which the Turkish conquerors of the 13th century called Bengal (whence Bengal of the British). The earliest reference of the city of Gaur (synonymous with Maldah of present) is said to found in the writings of Panini the Grammarian (circa 5th century BC) where it had been known. Gaur and its twin Pandua (Pundrabardhana) served as capital of many a king and Sultan. The Palas ruled their considerable empire from here during the eighth to eleventh century, which was the only time when Bengal had a powerful empire competing, clashing and coxisitingwith Subsequently, during the rule of Sen dynasty , the erstwhile empire having been reduce to a modest Bengal kingdom although the Sens had a habit of shifting their capital. In 1204Bakhtyar Khilji conquered Bengal destroying the Sen Dynasty and from then on Pandua became more prominent as the sultanate continued mostly as independent principality upto the time of the Mughal conquest under Akbar. The nearby settlement of Rajmahal served as the provincial capital of Suja’s Bengal Suba until his defeat and ruin by Aurangazeb. Important tourist information is given below.
