Bangar excavation site

Bangarh is a historical town in Gangarampur, West Bengal, India. Bangarh was the ancient city that served as the administrative centre of KotivarshaVishaya (territorial division), which was part of the larger administrative unit of PundravardhanaBhukti, which had Mahasthangarh as its capital throughout the Chandra, Varman, and Sena periods. Following the Senas’ defeat by the Muslims led by Bakhtiar Khilji, Devkot was created as their capital, where Bakhtiar died.
