==History==
===Ancient period===
Between the town and the station lies a mound known as Akhandha, believed to have been the seat of the legendary Raja Naal. To the west stands a large tank named Rani Sagar, associated with his famed queen, [[Damayanti]]. The tank was reconstructed in 1710 by Raja Deendar Khan.

===Medieval period===
[[File:Dildarnagar Masjid.jpeg|thumb|240px|left|[[Jama Mosque, Dildar Nagar|Jama Masjid]] build by Raja Deendar Khan in 1700]]
The land where the present town of Dildarnagar exists belonged to the Zamindars of Bahuara and Kusi, and was called village [[Akhanda]]. Dildarnagar was founded on 16 July 1698 by a [[Kunwar]] Naval Singh who adopted [[Islam]] and kept his name Raja Deendar Khan in 1674. Deendar Khan kept the name as Deendarnagar, but because of wrong pronunciation during the [[British Raj|British rule]] over [[India]], the name of was changed to Dildarnagar in 1839. Kunwar Naval Singh used to live in the village named Samohta located in [[Chainpur, Kaimur|Chainpur]] [[tehsil]] of [[Bihar]], India. One day the [[Mughal emperors|Mughal emperor]], [[Aurangzeb]] passed to the village and, being influenced by Naval Singh's brother, he adopted the aforementioned brother in 1674. He named his brother Miya Danish Khan. Aurangzeb also made Danish Khan the [[jagir]]dar of a place near [[Delhi]] in 1680s and gave him the title of [[Raja]]. After that, the whole family of Naval Singh shifted to [[Lahore]] and adopted [[Islam]] in 1660s. Kunwar Naval Singh was named Raja Muhammad Deendar Khan. Deedar Khan was a descendant of the family of [[Chainpur, Kaimur|Chainpur]] in [[Kaimur district|Kaimur Bihar]]. Deendar Khan came to [[Ghazipur district]] and bought the village named Akhanda with 592 coins used during the [[Aurangzeb]] Empire in 1698 and started living there. He was made the [[Jagirdar]] of [[pargana]] [[Chainpur, Kaimur|Chainpur]], [[Zamania]] and [[Chausa]]. Dildarnagar also saw a battle at Dildarnagar . Raja Deendar Khan Build an [[Eidgah|Eid Gah]] in the village between 1699 and 1705 CE and a Mosque called Shahi masjid. During [[Mughal Empire|Mughals empire]], [[Zamania]], [[Usia, Dildarnagar|Usia]] and [[Dewaitha]] were the main market centers of [[Dildarnagar Kamsar]] . But Dildarnagar was also a large market area during the 1700s.

Seorai, located near Dildarnagar of [[Ghazipur]], witnessed a tragic historical event during the reign of [[List of emperors of the Mughal Empire|Mughal Emperor]] [[Bahadur Shah I|Shah Alam I]]. On 16th Muharram (Tuesday, 1710-11 CE), Kunwar Dheer Singh (Muhammad Bahrmand Khan), the [[faujdar]] of [[Chainpur, Kaimur|Chainpur]] and the son of zamindar Muhammad Deendar Khan of Dildarnagar, was [[martyr]]ed while defending the region against a rebellious former [[faujdar]] of [[Chausa]]. The attack was orchestrated due to animosity from Moatsim Khan, the [[faujdar]] of [[Ghazipur]].

The rebels looted villages like Seorai, Bareji, [[Gorasara]], and [[Mania, Dildarnagar|Maniya]], destroying property and desecrating Seorai's old mosque. Bahrmand Khan and his companions, including Sheikh Dayanatullah, Muhammad Hamza, and Muhammad Sultan, sacrificed their lives to protect the region.

The event deeply grieved Muhammad Dindar Khan, who documented the incident in a [[Persian language|Persian]] "Mahzarnama" addressed to the emperor. Today, the Deendar Shamsi Museum and Library preserves this document, along with the legacy of Bahrmand Khan's bravery, as reflected in the five graves at Seorai's Kuttul Khan Mosque.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ansari |first=Saiyad Hasan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dxDWbsztdVQC&q=Kamsar |title=Evolution and Spatial Organization of Clan Settlements: A Case Study of Middle Ganga Valley |date=1986 |publisher=Concept Publishing Company |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-01 |title=Ghazipur: A Gazetteer being Vol. XXIX of the District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221201224151/https://dspace.gipe.ac.in/xmlui/handle/10973/37271 |access-date=2024-12-22 |website=web.archive.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Infotech |first=Sysmarche |title=Khabre Aaj Bhi मौज़ा सेवराई बचाने में हो गये थे सात लोग शहीद |url=https://khabreaajbhi.com/news_details.php?id=3904&fbclid=IwY2xjawHX5M5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWm1CMVuqc4x2PU5-a4D0kiPZGYGo3PiWV-LM7Pq8d0YRTGuKQXNsFmaCg_aem_ha1zr2Pg9ULqUYr6lI6h0Q |access-date=2024-12-24 |website=khabreaajbhi.com |language=en}}</ref>

===British period===
Dildarnagar's original name was '''Akhandha''', but in medieval period named changed to Deendarnagar, later regional pronunciations led in 1838 to a British officer writing the name as Dildarnagar. Dildarnagar was made a town in 1879, after [[Dildarnagar Junction railway station|Dildarnagar Junction Railway Station]] was built by the [[Company rule in India|British Government]] in 1862.

'''Shayar Mata Temple'''

Shayar Mata Temple is a local shrine situated between Platforms 3 and 4 of Dildarnagar Railway Station in Ghazipur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. The temple is associated with a popular local legend dating back to the British colonial period. According to local tradition, during the construction of the railway line, workers discovered a clay idol beneath a neem tree at the site. When attempts were made to cut the tree, several unexplained incidents reportedly occurred, which were interpreted by locals as divine intervention. It is believed that these events led railway authorities to alter the alignment of the track near the site. Over time, a temple was constructed there, and it has since become a place of local religious significance. Currently this temple is managed by descendants of [[Prem Singh Yadav]]
