It is locally said that Shah Sufiuddin defeated the Hindu king of the Pandua and Mahanad area and built this victory pillar.

Mahiuddin Ostagar of Santipur composed a poem, Panduar Kechha, in which he describes how Muslim domination of the area was achieved.

The peasant carried the dead body of his son to the Badshah at Delhi, Feroze Shah.

After listening to the complaint, he sent his nephew, Shah Sufi, at the head of an army, to Pandua.

The boy, dressed as a yogi, entered the palace and threw some beef into the well, thereby destroying its divine properties.

Then they would bring down the regular army of the Muslim State upon these infidel kings to punish them for infringing the rights of Mussalmans".

During the period that followed Muslim Ghazis built many mosques and tombs on the ruins of Hindu temples.
