	In ancient times, it was known as Laksmanabati. In the course of time, it became [[Gauḍa (city)\| Lakhnauti]]. The history of the [[Gauḍa (region)]] can be traced back to 500-400 BC. The mention of Pudanagala, found in the [[Brahmi script]] , and archaeological excavations point to its existence. The city of Pundranagara in [[Pundravardhana]] have been mentioned during the [[Gupta Empire\|Gupta]], [[Pala Empire\|Pala]] and [[Sena dynasty\|Sena]] periods. During the rule of [[Shashanka\|Raja Shashanka]] this area was ruled as a part of [[Gauḍa (region)\|Gauda]] in the seventh century. Even after the Muslim conquest, it remained the seat of power for about three centuries. It was capital of the [[Bengal Sultanate]] from 1339 to 1453. Interestingly, while 9 kings of the [[Ilyas Shahi dynasty]], founded by Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah in 1339, ruled over Bengal from Pandua, the only exceptions were Raja Ganesh of the [[Ganesha dynasty]]. In 1453, the capital was shifted from Pandua to Gauda city. With the shifting of the capital, largely dictated by the change of course of the [[Mahananda River\|Mahananda]], Pandua declined.<ref name= ~~‘pandua2’~~>{{cite web\| url = https://www.indiaunveiled.in/location/gaur-%E2%80%93-pandua \| title= Gaur-Pandua \| publisher= India Unveiled \| access-date = 23 July 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\| url = https://www.taleof2backpackers.com/gour-malda/ \| title= History of Gour Malda \| publisher= Offbeat and Untold \| access-date = 23 July 2023}}</ref>		In ancient times, it was known as Laksmanabati.

	Gauda and Pandua not only have a colourful historical past, but the architecture and beauty of many structures in what was once the capital of the Bengal Sultanate attract many tourists, apart from being a Muslim pilgrimage site. Pandua is also known as Hazrat Pandua, because many Muslim saints and preachers, like Jalaluddin Tabrizi and Nur Qutb Alam, made it their home.There are so many structures that it would take at least ~~3-4~~ days if someone were to see them all. Unfortunately, none of them are well maintained, but even the ruins remaining puts forward a vivid presentation of the glorious past. The eras of the Buddhist [[Pala Empire]], the Hindu [[Sena dynasty]] and the Muslim Nawabs [[Bengal Sultanate]] were periods of glory for Pandua. <ref name= ~~‘pandua2’~~/>		Gauda and Pandua not only have a colourful historical past, but the architecture and beauty of many structures in what was once the capital of the Bengal Sultanate attract many tourists, apart from being a Muslim pilgrimage site.
