Mungra

Mungra, also known as Badshahpur, lies southwest of Jaunpur in the country between the Ganges and Gomti rivers. The surrounding low-lying land includes the pargana of Mungra, where rice is an important crop. Nearby Machhlishahr was once known as Ghisri, a name linked to the Bhar chief Ghisu, who is said to have founded it.
