Gobindpur

Gobindpur stands on the route across the eastern edge of the Chota Nagpur plateau, between Bengal and the plains towards Banaras. The road became part of the great highway improved under Sher Shah and the Mughals, carrying travellers, armies and goods across northern India. Gobindpur is also recorded as a Mughal mint town, linking the settlement to the circulation of imperial coinage as well as to movement along the road.
