'''Kudva''' or '''Yadunagar''' is a village in Sadat block, [[Ghazipur]] district in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. This village is settlemented in 1835 during long time famine in northern India because there was a very big pond in this area named 'Kud pond'. It belongs to [[Varanasi]] Division . It is located 41 KM towards west from District headquarters [[Ghazipur]]. 10 KM from [[Sadat, Uttar Pradesh|Sadat]]. 309 KM from State capital [[Lucknow]]

==History==
At the time of [[Skandagupta]]'s war with [[Pushpamitra]]s and [[Hun]]s, this place was the cantonment of [[Skandagupta]]'s army. [[Skandagupta]]'s army had also made a temporary construction at this place in 455–456, the remains of which remained till 1970 in the form of a huge wall about three kilometers long, which was from north to south direction from the heart of the present Kudva village. Gradually people destroyed that wall and occupied its land. Even today, fragments of bricks of that wall are found at the time of digging deep in people's fields and lands and pieces of pottery are often found in the fields falling on the northern side of Kudva village. A part of that construction is still safe in the form of a huge well which is right in front of Rajdev Yadav's house. The diameter of this well is about 5 meters. The huge pond of this village is also man-made, which never dries up. There is no doubt that this pond may have been constructed at the same time. For many centuries, this place was hidden in the forests and people again noticed it in 1835. From 1803 onwards, there was a drought in North India almost every second or third year. During the long famine of 1835, when all the ponds and wells dried up, three brothers of the [[Ahir]] caste, with the help of their domesticated elephants and horses, discovered a huge and deep pond of about 2500 square meters at this place, in spite of the severe famine. There was no effect and was completely filled with water. This huge pond was surrounded by forests on all sides. Those three brothers named that huge pond 'Kund' and settled at this place. Due to the name 'Kund', this place was later named Kudva. Later, due to the descendants of Maharaja Yadu settling here, people started calling this place as Yadunagar also.
