Banaili estate in Bihar was one of the largest estates in India. It covered parts of regions that are currently located in four of India's current states, namely, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa. The name of the estate derives from a village Banaili () in the then Purnia district of Bihar. The main centres of residences of Rajas of Banaili are Banaili, Ramnagar, Champanagar, Srinagar, Garh Banaili, and Sultanganj. Bhagalpur was the centre from where administration of the estate was carried out. One of the centres of Banaili Raj located in Sultanganj is believed to have ancient historical or mythical association. The Krishnagarh palace built by Kumar Krishnanand Singh on Sultanganj is in the Karnagarh area, which is believed to be place where the Castle of King Karna of Mahabharata was located.() ==Raja Bahadur Dular Singh Chowdhry== Though the roots of the family can be traced to 11th - 12 th century as done ably by Girijanand Sinha in his book, ''Banaili - Roots to Raj'', the family achieved its famed eminence only in the 19th century during the reign of Raja Bahadur Dular Singh Chowdhry. It was Raja Dular Singh who fixed the family residence at Banaili and gave the family its current name. He was an enterprising Raja and added to the family's wealth using the opportunities afforded by the Permanent Settlement implemented by Lord Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis in the then state of Bengal. He received the title of Raja Bahadur from the British Government for his services during the Anglo-Nepalese War. Raja Dular Singh died in 1821. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banaili」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
