Swargadwari

Swargadwari
   A township established by Muhammad bin Tugh-laq (1325-1351) on the bank of the Ganges River near present-day Thana Daryaoganj (District Etah, Uttar Pradesh) in 1339. The place chosen for the purpose was, as is suggested by its name Swargadwari ("Gate to Heaven"), already a pilgrimage center of Hindus. Muham-mad bin Tughlaq stayed at Swargadwari and ran his empire from there between 1339 and 1341.
