[citation needed] Banda was a town and district of British India, in the Allahabad division of the United Provinces.

In 1761, he and his army contingent were involved (fought alongside the Peshwa) in the Third Battle of Panipat between the Marathas and Afghans.

[9] Shamsher's successor Ali Bahadur (Krishna Singh) established his authority over large parts of Bundelkhand and became the Peshwa'a Subedar of Banda.

The Collectors are in charge of property records and revenue collection for the Central Government, and oversee the national elections held in the city.

In some parts it rises into irregular uplands and elevated plains, interspersed with detached rocks of granite; in others it sinks into marshy lowlands, which frequently remain under water during the rainy season.

To the south-east the Vindhya chain of hills takes its origin in a low range not exceeding 500 feet (150 m) in height, and forming a natural boundary of the district in that direction.

A branch railway from Manikpur to Jhansi traverses the length of the district, which is also crossed by the East Indian main line to Jabalpur (earlier Jubbulpore).

[5] The BDA (Banda Development Authority) has planned to make one mall in town, the India Family Mart,[15] a mid scale shopping store, is currently giving their service to the city.

The temple is said to derive its name from Bamdeo Rishi, a sage mentioned in Hindu mythology as a contemporary of Lord Rama.

[16] Across the river Ken there are ruins of Bhuragarh Fort, said to be built with brown stones by Raja Guman Singh in the 17th century.

In 1787 AD, Nawab Ali Bahudur I with the help of Kalinjar Bhatts defeated the Bundelas and captured Bhuragarh.

[19] He is called the Conqueror of Bundelkhand and his forces swayed into Orchcha and levied chauth for Peshwas of Pune.

His thrust enabled Kalinjar Bhattas to march into Vindhya and defeat Rewa, Maihar, Vijayraghogargh and adjoining states.

Banda became a gun salute state[20] and started its modern approach under Nawab Zulfikar Bahadur.

Nawab started the Shazar stone masonry works and his rule was one of the milestones in peace and Maratha hegemony.

This struggle was much fiercer than expected and revolutionaries from Allahabad, Kanpur and Bihar joined the Nawab in fighting the British.

All his Banda dominions were passed to RaiBahadur Manvendrasingh Awasthi, an important minister of Kalinjar bhattshahi.

The most famous place to visit from the city is the ancient Kalinjar Fort which is located south of Banda and is mentioned in the Mahabharata.

[22] There is also a temple on the top of a hill called Khatri Pahar at Shydha, which is located approximately 24 km from the city.

The church was established to fulfil the spiritual needs of British and Indian Anglican Christians of town.

There are a number of daily buses to Kanpur, Allahabad, Delhi, Sagar, Lucknow, Jhansi, Khajuraho, in Uttar Pradesh and to many other states.

[28] It is well connected by trains with all major cities namely Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Bhopal, Bilaspur, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Raipur, Varanasi, Agra.
