==History==
According to [[Binoy Ghosh]], the tall Pandua Minar can be seen by those travelling in trains or along the Grand Trunk Road. It is locally said that Shah Sufiuddin defeated the [[Hindu king]] of the Pandua and [[Mahanad]] area and built this victory pillar. Mahiuddin Ostagar of Santipur composed a poem, ''Panduar Kechha'', in which he describes how Muslim domination of the area was achieved. There was a king named Pandu in Pandua. Inside his palace there was a well blessed by the gods. When the body of a dead person was immersed in its waters, the person regained life. During the reign of king Pandu, mostly Hindus lived in Pandua, and there were a few Muslims. One day a Muslim peasant killed a cow on his son's birthday. This enraged the Hindus and they killed the son. The Muslim peasant complained to king Pandu but he did not take any action. The peasant carried the dead body of his son to the [[Padishah|Badshah]] at Delhi, Feroze Shah. After listening to the complaint, he sent his nephew, Shah Sufi, at the head of an army, to Pandua. He waged war but initially he was unsuccessful, because of the life-giving properties of the divine well. Frustrated Shah Sufi was almost on the verge of returning to Delhi, when a cowherd boy revealed the secret of the divine well to Shah Sufi. The boy, dressed as a yogi, entered the palace and threw some beef into the well, thereby destroying its divine properties. The Muslim forces captured Pandua, and Shah Sufi remained back in Pandua. He built a large mosque there.<ref name=binoyghosh>Ghosh, Binoy, ''Paschim Banger Sanskriti'', {{in lang|bn}}, part II, 1976 edition, pages 312–316, Prakash Bhaban, Kolkata.</ref>

Historically, there is no evidence of the existence of king Pandu, but there were many minor [[Hindu king]]s in the [[Saptagram]]-Pandua area. Within a century of [[Bakhtiyar Khilji]]'s conquest, the Muslim thrust into the southern parts of the [[Rarh region]], that included the present-day Hooghly district, started from the end of the 13th century to the 14th century. It was during the rule of the Balban sultans in Delhi (1286–1328) that efforts were made to establish Islam, not only by capturing the thrones and political power, but also by establishing Islam socially.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sarkar |first=Jadunath |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ApVjzgEACAAJ |title=The History of Bengal: Muslim period, 1200-1757 |date=1976 |publisher=University of Dacca |pages=69 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=binoyghosh/>

According to the available records, Zafar Khan had come to the [[Tribeni, Hooghly|Tribeni]] area towards the end of the 13th century and Shah Sufiuddin had come to the Pandua area towards the beginning of the 14th century. During the period that followed Muslim Ghazis built many mosques and tombs on the ruins of Hindu temples.<ref>{{Citation |last=Pinakpani |title=English: Pandua Minar, an ASI heritage building at Pandua, Hooghly |date=2022-04-17 |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pandua_Minar_at_Pandua_15.jpg |access-date=2024-04-12}}</ref> There is tell-tale evidence of the historical role of Muslim Ghazi-Pirs in the Pandua-Mahanad-Tribeni area.<ref name=binoyghosh/><ref>{{Cite web|title=Shrinkhala Devi Temple|url=https://ipltours.com/news/india/travel/srunkala-devi-eng/|access-date=18 May 2021|archive-date=18 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210518212342/https://ipltours.com/news/india/travel/srunkala-devi-eng/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Sharma 2018 75">{{Cite book|last=Sharma|first=Partha|title=The Forgotten Shivalinga of the Sati Shaktipeeths|year=2018|isbn=978-9387456129|pages=75|publisher=Zorba Books }}</ref>
