Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts.Many units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Badrihat=

Ruins in the Lalbagh subdivision of Murshidabad
District, Bengal, situated in 24° 18' N. and 88° 15' E., on the right
bank of the Bhagirathi, a few miles above Azimganj. An ancient city
with a palace or fort once stood here. Stones and pillars engraved
with Pali characters, gold coins, and much broken pottery have been
found ; but nothing has yet been discovered which throws any light
upon the history of the place. The Pali inscriptions seem to point
to the Buddhist period. The old Hindu name of Badrihat was
changed by the Muhammadans to Ghiyasabad, in honour of Ghiyas-
ud-din, one of the Pathan kings of Gaur, who is said to have been
buried here.
