The capital of Bundelkhand;
the medieval history wonder of chandels invites you!

Kalinjar occupies a place of pride not only in the history of Banda also in the history of India. Many decisive battles were fought for the possession of this strategically located fort in ancient, medieval and modern times, but military aspect alone does not exhaust the importance of Kalinjar. The place is also a symbol of cultural and religious glory. This panorama of Kalinjar is marked by the famous temple of ageless Neelkantha, the tallest 'Kala Bhairava' image and number of high class sculptures in and around, and artistic friezes strewn throughout the length and breadth of the site and ranging from the Gupta period of the time of Chadellas. Kalinjar can further boast the of a vast wealth of epigraphic material as also possibly of even pre-gupta structures and cultural assemblage embedded under the collapsed debris of the western escarpment of the mountain where the famous Neelkantha temple stands.

Founder: Hazrat Maulana Mohammad Sayed Siddique Ahmad Bandwi

"Having seen this Madarsa I felt a pleasing wonder. Such a big Madarsa in such a small place. Masha Allah-o- Barak Allah. What forts of Islam are established at how wonderful places."   

                                    (Maulana) Abdul Majid Daryabadi Rah.

 


Building where classes are conducted

About ten miles away in the east of Banda city. Hathaura Village is sitauted on Banda-Baberu Road. It is about a mile away from this road. Its a small hamlet with its original inhabitants as Husaini, Wasti and Sadats. Earlier, the village was called Husainpur but because of Syed. Husain Ahmed's Karamat (Super Human Happening) , it was named Hathaura.

After 1947 when India got freedom and after the subsequent disturbance and violence the uneducated and down-trodden Muslims of the regions faced danger of mass conversion. In those days, Hazrat Maulana Siddiq Ahmad Bandwi Rah., founder of Jamia was a teacher at FAtehpur. When he came to know about it, he was shocked. To stop this and to spread the teachings of Islam, he established Jamia Arabia Hathaura in the year of 1952. The start was made under a khaprial roof of the village mosque. Soon after, the needs of Jamia multiplied rapidly. Number of Students increased and new roms were constructed. In 1975 A.D., a grand ocnference was held at Hathaura in which more than ten thousands persons participated.

The Jamia has completed its 55 years of establishment and of struggle, sacrifice and ultimate success. It has now grown to big institution, which has not only crossed the state and national border but also stepped in many countries like Nepal, Malaysia, Africa and U.K. . now many students from Nepal, Kenya and nearly all the states of India are studying here. Every year a notable number of students  complete their education.

 


Jamia Library that spreads in 150 feet

 

Building of Jamia is divided into three blocks. The Jama Masjid is located in South-West part. The dome and floor is magnificent in beauty and architecture. The library of Jamia is located to the south of Mosque in long wings of about 150feet and it consists of 50000 books. Outside the campus, there is Jamia Market with a shopping complex. Also, there are about 60 rooms which are used as dormitory for the students. The west wing is used for Kitchen, store-room, fuel room etc. In the east of this block there is a generator room and two big water tanks. For visiting faculty and guests, guest rooms are provided. And away from these blocks inside the village there is a girl's school of Jamia.

The beauty and glory of Jamia is spell bounding. Once in Jamia, you will feel a divine wisdom and spiritual place. The greenery all around, innocent glances of grazing deers in the playground and water tanks and the warm and exclusive hospitality. This is all what you will get here.

About Book:

Bundelkhand Circuit Uttar Pradesh (Lonely Planet) 9781760342449 By - Supriya Sehgal Peppered with fairytale forts, the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh throws up stunning surprises amidst its tangle of shrubby dhak trees and miles of countryside. You will unearth plenty of legends and folklore that will bring alive the legacies of the Chandela and Bundela kings who once ruled this land. Here, a keen love for history, an investigative eye and a vivid imagination will be your trusted allies. Discover the Bundelkhand region with a guide that you can trust. Visit forts that rise extravagantly above the dusty sun-scorched land, ancient temples where tales from the epics played out and a sprinkling of Jain pilgrimage sites that make Bundelkhand a compelling place to explore. Our expert authors will guide you to must-see sights and experiences, give you loads of reliable practical information and help you get the best possible value for money. Go armed with all the information you need without being bogged down by unnecessary details

A fusion of inimitable architecture, stories of dynastic struggles and roaming the stark arid topography, which has witnessed the valour of some of the most eminent freedom fighters of India, will leave you in thrall at Bundelkhand.

Bundelkhand lies wedged between the Indo-Gangetic Plain to the north and the low Vindhya Mountain range to the south. The topography looks bleak with vast tracts of pale rocky land clinging to either side of the roads – a dull brown scape broken by the green of the shrubby dhak copses. Sparse vegetation, barren hills and the criss-crossing rivers in the plains offer a typical perspective of the Central India topography. Large shimmering rivers Sindh, Betwa, Shahzad River, Ken, Bagahin, Tons, Pahuj, Dhasan and Chambal meander through the entire region, lending themselves to the construction of many small and big dams across them. Three low mountain ranges dissect the region, their steep slopes and insurmountable scarps having made eligible sites for forts and palaces for the erstwhile rulers.
