तेलियागढ़ी किला, साहिबगंज (Teliagarhi Fort) – Sahibganj

Teliagarhi situated at the Shahibganj thana of the Santal Parganas in Bihar of India, is a famous 'pass' which formerly commanded the military approaches of Bengal proper. In Abul Fazl's time (late 16th century AD) Teliagarhi formed the northwestern limit of Bengal. Bengal could be linked with the rest of the subcontinent only through three hazardous passages: Teliagarhi route, Tirhut route and Jharkhand route. The route of Teliagarhi is a narrow passage by the southern bank of the Ganges, with the steep river bank in the north and the rajmahal hills in the south.

Teliagarhi became the main gateway for Muslim armies coming from northern India and marching to Bengal from the 13th century. Bakhtiyar Khilji passed through Teliagarhi pass on the way to the conquest of Bengal. In 1538, Sher Shah Suri and Humayun fought a decisive battle near Teliagarhi. The rebellious Prince Khurram fought with Ibrahim Khan at Teliagarhi and Rajmahal for control of Bengal Read more about तेलियागढ़ी किला, साहिबगंज (Teliagarhi Fort) – Sahibganj

दमदमा कोठी, मुंगेर (Damdama Kothi) – Munger

 

Inside of the Munger fort there is a hillock, on the other side of the tanks, is an artificial rectangular mound which once probably formed the citadel of the fort. There is no ancient local name given to this hill, but it is stated that there once stood here a building known as Damdama Kothi which was demolished by the British, to make room for the Collector’s Bungalow.

This Kothi was built of very strong masonry, for it had to be blown-up by gunpowder, bit by bit, since the ordinary methods of demolition could make no impression on it.

While removing the debris from its site numerous holes were discovered showing the former existence of underground rooms. Inside a well in the compound, just above the water level, two arched passages were found, one leading towards the house and the other, in the opposite direction; towards the ground now occupied by the Jail.

The Kothi would appear to be the work of the Mohammedan rulers, raised perh…
