About
The project looks at the intangible heritage of the district, which includes the history of the ancient Kampilya/Panchal kingdom along the Ganga. In 1714, Nawab Mohammad Khan Bangash unified 52 villages of Bisen Kshatriyas (Bumtelas) and named them as Farrukhabad. In ancient times, Kampil reached its highest glory as the capital of the Panchala Kingdom. The presence of numerous Shivalayas has given it an exalted religious status of Aparakashi. The report covers the country’s freedom movement and the involvement of local freedom fighters of Farukkhabad in the struggle. The report also documents other luminaries of Farukkhabad which include famous poets like Mr. Mahadevi Verma and Dr. Shiv Om Ambar, and music composer mr. Anwar Farrukhabadi. The history of wooden boat-making in the district is believed to be about 250 years old.
