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.
