Jaunpur : In 1360 Feroz Shah built this
town to guard the eastern side of his Delhi sultanate. Jaunpur is located
65 kms from Varanasi. Jaunpur is bisected by the river Gomti and the two
sides are connected by the massive Akbari Bridge. This bridge was
designed by an Afghan and was built in the 16th century. The fifteen stone
arches of the bridge have withstood earthquakes and floods. On the
southern end of the bridge is the sculptures of a lion tussling with an
elephant. This marked the provincial milestone. Other places to visit in
Jaunpur are Sheetla Chowkia Dham, Yamdagni Ashram, Atla Mosque and Char
Anguli ki Masjid. |
