Bangarmau is a tehsil and a municipal board in Unnao district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] It is located on high ground overlooking the left bank of the Kalyani river,[2] about 50 km northwest of Unnao and 22 km northwest of Safipur.[1] Roads fan out in all directions from Bangarmau, including the main Unnao-Hardoi road SH38 that passes through town.[2] Major commodities produced here include wheat flour, rice, and pulses.[1] As of 2011, the population of Bangarmau is 44,204, in 7,600 households.[1]
Near Bangarmau is Sanchan Kot, where in 2009, an Archaeological Survey of India excavation unearthed a 2000-year-old Shiva temple.[3]
History
Bangarmau was the first Muslim settlement in the area of present-day Unnao district, dating back to around the year 1300.[2] According to legend, the town was founded when a Muslim holy man named Sayyid Ala-ud-Din attempted to take up residence near the town of Nawal, which was ruled by a Hindu raja named Nal.[2] The raja refused and sent men to expel him by force, but Ala-ud-Din laid a curse on them so that the raja and all his people died, and the town of Nawal was turned upside-down.[2] The modern village of Nawal is built on top of its ruins, and old artifacts are still sometimes dug up.[2]
Sayyid Ala-ud-Din then went on to found the city of Bangarmau, which is where he was buried after he died.[2] A shrine was built over his grave, and it has an inscription dated to 702 AH, or 1302 CE.[2] Ala-ud-Din's descendants remain custodians of the shrine, which at one point was "rich and famous" before declining by the turn of the 20th century.[2]
Despite Bangarmau's Muslim origin and prominent shrine, though, it never became thoroughly Islamised, and the population remains mostly Hindu.[2]
Bangarmau is referred to in the Baburnama, the autobiography of Babur, where Babur mentions that he camped near a lake situated in Bangarmau on 15 March 1528 and the following day left for Lucknow. Bangarmau belongs to the area under influence of a Sufi saint Madar Shah of the Madaria sect. Several villages named are after him situated around Bangarmau.
Bangarmau's population steadily declined during the second half of the 19th century.[2]
At the turn of the 20th century, Bangarmau was described as a well-built town almost surrounded by extensive orchards; about half the houses were built with brick.[2] It had 16 mosques and several Hindu temples, as well as a police station and a middle school with 120 students.[2] The town held markets twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays; its commerce was helped by its advantageous location at a crossroads.[2]
