Kishi

Kishi lies near Jarwal in the plains of Awadh, close to the Ghaghara River. Jarwal grew around a fortified settlement claimed by local Sayyid families. In 1340 Sayyid Zakariyya gained control of the fort, apparently with support connected to Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq’s presence in the Bahraich country. The fort and its settlement stood among the riverine towns north of Lucknow.
